I have the maximum motorsport front and rear coil over kit. This kit comes with Bilsteins too. It rocks and was pretty easy to install. Depending on what you're doing you might want to spring for one of their packages. It includes everythng you need to completely upgrade the suspension, depending on your budget.

The MM kits are awesome, but more road-course biased. Although that would be the point of getting coilovers--->the adjustability.

Like stated mmr, upr now makes frt and rear coilover kits, mm, qal and competition engineering. I have an mmr rear kit and it is really nice, I also run the upr front and they all have nice adjustability.
Do you have a link to the URP rears? Can't find them on their site.
I called UPR and they dont make em anymore, what a bunch of crap!



GOOD NEWS! I pieced together a kit that will run you bout 700-800 bux with springs, coil kit, and shocks/struts. Thats what I am gonna do. www.yourperformancesource.com has the coil over kit, hypercoil street/strip springs. Then with either lakewood 70/30 or 90/10 front struts and 50/50 rear shocks, or strange engineering adjustable front struts and shocks. Theres no put together kit, its just something I peiced together, but you can get it all from them.

When you go coil over do you need or can you use caster camber plates???

You need to get C/C plates. Make sure you get 4 bolt ones also. They are stronger. All the weight of the suspension is now on the CC plates rather than the CC plates and the spring mounts. Also you cannot get the right alignment without them unless you keep the stock 4x4 height.
