Or D&D if you still want good quality parts but for half the price of MM.

I like them, alows you to fit a larger wheel and tire.
Do you happen to know how much wider a tire you can fit? Like would you be able to fit a 17x10.5 without any other modifications? (or what would be the biggest setup width wise on a 17" tire for the back?)

the thing about coil overs is that they're not magical or something "uber racing trick" or anything. i get pissed off at ricers that act like their car is an F1 car just b/c it has coilovers on it. fact of the matter is that if you don't know how to set them up they can make your car handle like crap.

however, if you know what you're doing, coilovers are handy b/c you can adjust ride height, spring rate, and on some versions even the dampening and rebound. if you get a set though, just make sure you read on the best ways to set them up and for the true hardcore entheuiest you can always buy a set of cross-weight scales.

Well, if you dont know what you should get just give a call to whatever company you plan on purchasing them from and they will be able to help out ALOT. Just let them know what your plans are for the car if its a DD or a track car, etc. etc. etc.

I will be doing that
