Default True Coilover?????

For a good suspension, most people would agree with the setup of: koni yellow and ground control coilover. This setup is about $800.
A few other people like the idea of getting a true coilover for maybe another $100 ($900). For this they have recommended the Neuspeed coilover, they claimed that you can get them from neuspeed for about $799.
So which one is worth the ThousanD being spent. if and only if Neuspeed coilover are actually under 1G.
Any one have this setup already....?
all comments welcome
thanks

I have the Neuspeed coilovers and really like them. I purchased them for $799 shipped to my door. Have no complaints, they are very nice. Front doesnt go quite as low as id like, but Im one of those guys that likes my car slammed. Basically u cant see the top of the tires at al 4 corners and the back can still go lower but the front is all the way down. Heres the link to ths site I got em from. http://www.neuspeed.com/order/index.php?action=1

Check out ZEAL's coilovers at http://www.aj-racing.com they're really nice made with Cr-Mo, light weight and they're short stroked so u don't have to worry much about not having enough travel. Some even comes with pillow uppper mount also.

For more info pls contact me at spoonek4@hotmail.com

Which setup (full coil-over/not full/anything) would you recommend for a smooth ride? I want to be able to tune it to aggressive settings for the strip and track, or even a little bit aggressive on the streets, but more important is the smooth ride..

Which manufacturer makes something suited to that you think?

Hi ImprtTunr,
Thanks for the order info.
Got one more question though,
I like to drop my car about 1.8" probably no more than 2" with a 17" rims, what i like to know is if I do that, will I get a smooth ride (stock-like) no hoping no bouncing? and will this help me to handle like a type r to attack some corners?
thanks

I heard from a VW lover that H&R don't make their own shocks/dampers. Bilstein make those for them instead??? Not sure...

I've only heard good thigns about the neuspeed coilovers. What I"m suprised at is that you found them for so little. I've only found them for $1100. Where did you guys get the $800 figure.

H&R makes the springs and uses bilstein shocks. For a long time neuspeed did the same thign but I heard they changed things now.
