i was considering to buy the sleeve type coilover a time also! i was really taken into the cheap price but it was a good thing i did the research first before i bought..

found a really great article here:
http://www.trinituner.com/shop/coilover.asp

there are shocks that are designed to work with lowered vehicles.. but you will have to do the research to find them..

stephanweaver · Postby **stephanweaver** » March 20th, 2007, 9:50 am

about 8-14K
ground control coilovers 4 koni yellows + 4 extended top hats <-- more shock travel if you are dropped to stop bottoming out

Koncepts · Postby **Koncepts** » March 20th, 2007, 10:25 am

Approximate cost for the 4 extended top hats?
and where can these be purchased

stephanweaver · Postby **stephanweaver** » March 20th, 2007, 10:31 am

these are specifically for ground control coilovers. and cost about 250us per pair [2]

Ok kool
Umm.... so what might you suggest i do
Should i just sell my present coilovers and get a new set (oh i have a blue set of coilovers would anybody know the brand?)
Or should i buy the short shocks and work it with my present coiovers??

Ok so i was checking out sum Tein Coilovers
So which would be the best buy
The basic Dampers
Super Street Dampers or
Flex Dampers

3stagevtec · Postby **3stagevtec** » March 21st, 2007, 8:54 am

ent there supposed to be a shock that he can buy that will work with his present coilovers?

stephanweaver · Postby **stephanweaver** » March 21st, 2007, 9:28 am

i think some drop springs should be good for you.

if i were to personally buy a coilover set, i would go with the best.
eibach/ground control + koni.
