Which coilovers? Anyone with coilovers come and comment!
Hey guys been toying with the idea of throwing coilovers on along with a watts link kit as well, I know there are a lot of good brands out there but I was wondering if anyone who has a set of coilovers could give some feed back on them? I will be entering the car is some time attacks and autocross's as well..:icon_moped

There are like you said a lot of good ones made some are good values some really expensive good for semi pro racing too much for our needs. Vorshag has a special going right now with some AST shocks. They lowered the price to get them accepted in a specific race class you should check those out. I have K&W I like them very well made and used on the Roush track pack cars.
A word on spring rates. The spring rates you are used to seeing on our cars from the factory are a joke way too soft and most of the after market springs that are a few pounds heavier are too. I run 350 fronts 250 rears and I have driven on the street in a car with 425 fronts 375 rears both cars ride fine unless you're driving down some gravel washboard. The key is the shocks they need to control the rebound and most cheap shock do a really poor job on rebound and can't compress fast enough for high speed damping.
