Well most people around here will say go with coilovers because you adjust them

Then for coilover choice Ground control and Skunk2 seem to by the top choice

These will help with the install:

do the coilovers ride as smooth as springs would
also are dropzone or matrix coilovers any good?

generally, coilovers will not ride as smooth as springs.. im talking about the coilover "sleeves" and not the true coilovers. i have ground controls and they are bouncy but i have stock shocks...

also, alot of people say that coilovers are better because you can adjust them, i've had my gc's for over a year and i've only adjusted them once or twice
