so im thinking about doing the coilover conversion

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MUSTA...Q5fAccessories

this is the kit im looking at and not sure what struts yet but what all does this take? i just remove the old springs and leave all the other stuff the same and slap these in just like new struts? seems too easy.

also how adjustable are kits like this because i do want to go about 1.5 inches lower. let me know

If you mix and match you can throw off the geometry of you car, check out UPR they have quality stuff and you can stay with the same maufacturer. CC plates, coil over kits, k members, controls arms, poly bushing kits, they have it all. If you are building a car to race around you don't want it falling apart on you. Take the time to research and buy quality equipment, if you cut corners you'll pay for it in the long run.

yea im looking at getting the upr coilover kit on the front as well as cc plates to go with it. later down the road i will be doing same to rear but on front strut brace i will be going with max motorsport brace. ive found some good deals on all of these items(new) other than strut brace so i am just trying to find some info on how well a system similar will perform and experiences/install tips ect from people that are doing/have done the same thing.
