Default Coil Overs???

For those who have coil overs how do you like the ride compared to normal spring setup? What brand and spring rate did you go with? The only car I have driven was a buddies Prelude (honda yes but still) and it was really ruff in the front. It is probably because of how low he had it set to so the lack of movement may be the reason but what are your opinions??????????????????

I like mine!! 90/10's on the fron and 14-175 rate springs....it's stiff but I left my sway bar on so it still handles well on winding roads

I am probably gonna go with Strange because of the adjustability. Just havn't decided if I am gonna use coil overs or not. I am gonna be doing mainly street driving so 90/10s just won't suit me too well.

Mjr46 and I just did my whole tuke k-member set up.

I have 14" 150 rate. Have only had driving time home from his shop. NOT real happy w/ the ride quality. I guess it's an aquired taste. [:'(]

I need more seat time to get "used" to it. But it's a lot different from the stock ride.

I think my car has become more of a strip car than street. Something I thought I'd never let happen. [:@]
