RE: coil overs?

Do we have any numbers here for how much each route would cost? Like.. Eibach Pro/Sportline + Tokico D Specs vs. Tein coilovers?

And what exactly are coilovers? Its just a spring + shock.. like replacing 2 different parts with 1?

i get nil zip zero nada body roll with eibach sportlines and d-specs.

rear coilovers are useless on a solid axle (other than adjustable ride height) IMO. on a car like this, its really not worth the extra dough unless its burning a hole in your pocket. it takes too much tuning to get it much better than a good spring/strut setup anyway, again IMO based on my experience with m3's and a few other cars

See thats what Im afraid of though.. Im afraid of getting the sportline kit, and then getting my 19's and then not having room for them in the well... I dont want to have to switch out from the sportline to the pro kit because its too low of a drop, thats why I was thinking the coil overs..
