I want the MM coilovers, but theyre pretty exspensive. Thinking about upr or granatelli. Unless someone can convince me other wise...

You dont use UPR suspension components ever. Their quality is not so good. You get what you pay for...and suspension is not something that you skimp out on. The MM coilovers use Hypercoil springs that are warranted for life and they are just great quality. MM is what I'm running and they are awesome!

I've been running UPR coil overs up front with eibach for awhile, does the job just fine on the street and strip. If I ever need to change setups I'm running strickly Team Z stuff over anything on the market, zimmerman is the man plain and simple. www.teamzmotorsports.net

Would it be alright if I got coilovers for the rear first? The front looks fine to me, and dont have the money for both. Unless someone else has a solution for my very low ride heigth that cheap...

Hey, I was looking at MMR's website and found out they do suspension aswell. Think their coilovers would be ok?

Not really. Heard some not so good things. And I'd go coilover up front before the rear.

What exactly can be "bad" with a coilover kit, all it really is is a threaded sleve that goes over the stut/shock that has a adjustable spring perch and a cap and a small roller bearing up top.

That sleeve isn't always snug with the strut/shock which causes noise. On my upr kit I could feel it in the wheel too.

Also, the springs used could not be the greatest. Hypercoils are warranted never to sag or settle.
