coil overs..

scale · 09-20-2005, 08:02 AM

anyone running coil overs? I know MM has a couple kits for this. Im just wondering how they perform and what you guys think of them? I might go this route vs conventional springs and shocks but would like some opinions and thoughts from those that are running them..

Thanks guys.

Why do you wish to change?
Its MUCH more expensive, yet the adjustability is nice.

I run them in the front (only) on my roadracer. Rears, I use the adjustable spring perch on the lower control arms.

I run them on the front of my daily driver that occasionally sees open track duty. I like the ride height adjustability and the ease of changing springs if you need two different rates for street and track. Also, they are lighter than stock springs and they improve ride quality for a given spring rate. In the back I run coilover type springs in the stock position with weld-in adapters and adjustable height control arms.
