I'm still new man. The threads I start are to help me decide what what I want out of my car. I think you're original decision to get the grooved coilovers is very good because I could try the coils down the road...it's just they're really pricey. I'll be spending about $300 with shipping.
I can get the regular ones for less than $180 with free shipping from Autopartswarehouse. That's why I'm going that way.
I was dead set on these after talking with you until Sam told me STR.T's were just as good. So I found them for $102 for the pair. So I've been waiting for input on these. You see how I was thinking right? if $102 shocks are the same as $180 shocks....it's a no brainer.
But I've seen some people who aren't 100% happy with the comfort of those Koni's but every single post I've read on the HD's is HIGH PRAISE.
That's why I'm choosing that. I guess what appears to be wavering is what's frustrating to you, but it's really me just learning and listening to people's experiences. That's all bro.
Thanks again for the thoughts and suggestions you've given me. You're one of the main reasons I picked these in the first place. And I'd TOTALLY be going with your grooved suggeston if they were so pricey and there wasn't such a good deal on the non-grooved right now.

Like for me, I semi regret dumping soo much money into my bucket, but when I do get to drive it and hit some windy roads all that fades away and I want to keep it. I've completely gutted the suspension and now I'm kinda stuck with a car that won't sell for enough that's gonna make it worth selling. Just giving you some words of experience, tons of people dump lots of money on their cars just to sell them, since you sound like money is tight I would seriously advise thinking and making out a list of what you would like the car to be and how that fits into your lifestyle.

They are on their way...and at the last minute I remembered that Autopartswarehouse had sent me an email for a memorial day coupon of $15 off orders of $150 or more. So I got free shipping and an extra $15.00 off. So they were a little less than $80.00 each!!!

Ok it looks like they are out of stock for your year/model. If you don't mind paying a bit more but still getting free shipping go here:
