If you want prime coilovers you can always throw out 3.5K and get some Ohlin's!

However I agree with Shimmyshake. The market is going to be flooded with parts soon and once more stuff comes to market the pricing should lower as well

Ohlin's is best!!

Dimman · 11-24-2012, 01:09 PM

I suggested KW since this will be Momo's first lowered car. The stainless steel bodies, excellent valving and quality reputation for a not crazy pricing will make it a good intro to a lowered street car.

Don't know if Ohlin's as an introduction to lowering a car is the way to go. But I guess KW's aren't exactly cheap either...

Maybe RCE springs would be a better suggestion. They matched their drop and rates to the stock valving.

And a note about springs, a professional install would be recommended. There have been some issues with leaking/blown shocks from improper spring installs that involve impact guns.

And besides Penske is the best. Heh...

Lol I know right? I'll just go into Timmy's tomorrow and sit there and enjoy a cup of coffee with a donut all by myself.

When people show up, I'll be like... "Wait what?? There's a meet going on today??"
