Default Coil-Over Questions

I am thinking about what to get suspension wise and I have a few questions about coil-overs. I am going for extreme handling in the end and will be going with all Maximum Motorsports parts. I want to buy the parts in stages rather than all at one time. This will be easier money wise and install wise.

- Could I get shocks/struts now and convert them to coilovers later on?

- Can you do coilovers on the stock K-member?

- Can I do just front coil overs and stick with just springs and shocks in back?? I notice some companies only make front coil-over kits.

- How will using only front coil-overs effect my handling?

- I plan on CC plates eventually, but will I need them right when I get front coilovers?

Sorry about all of the questions. I just want to get info so I can plan ahead.

Thanks for any help.

I believe it can be done but im not sure about the MM stuff

Yes

Yes, I am doing it right now
- How will using only front coil-overs effect my handling?
Mine feels a little soft, b/c i have it set up for more straight line racing (need that front end to come up)
- I plan on CC plates eventually, but will I need them right when I get front coilovers?
Depends on how low you set the coilovers...but i would prob. do them at the same time since the installs are related.

Also for more handling look at getting the complete k member and sway bar
