I've been researching the threads here and it seems the consensus is to go with Koni yellow , springs, and HD mounts. Do you guys think that's the way to go or just spend the extra $$ and buy a better coilover system?
I can't justify full coilovers if you're not tracking it. That is, unless you're a tweaker- the kind of guy that will adjust your ride height once or twice a month based on how the mood strikes you.

These springs are on my car and I'm quite happy with them.

Koni Yellows are great dampeners and they're on sale right now. I'm thinking about picking some up myself. (we don't sell them at UPR)

I've decided to buy the Koni str.t shocks, Steeda Ultralite springs, j&m control arms, relocation brackets, and the an adjustable panhard bar. From what research I've done and for my needs, these seem to fit the bill.
The only part that I'm not sure of are the Steeda HD mounts. I really don't want to shell out $300 for 2 mounts, so I'll just serach some more to see if a 1.5" drop requires those.

Again, thanks for the replies. This forum is definitely one of the most helpful I've been on.
