Why not just get Koni/ground control?

Koni shocks are different then stocks. They have a "cir clip' that the sleeve grabs. The Sleeves NEEDS to be koni spec. No names are not.

agreed^
koni w/ground control is a good setup

do not buy ebay coilovers

If you want a comfortable daily just get ground controls with the off-the-shelf rates. I can guarantee you ebay or ksport springs are not going to be comfortable.

For some reason a lot of people think springs are comfortable and coilovers are not. Neither is more or less comfortable than the other. It all depends on the spring rate.

Don't buy ebay coils, its like they built em and never tested them out because those things break like nothing. Ground Controls, Function & Form, and Eibach are really good.

The ebay collars are just as bad as the springs. I've had them break before too.

Its becuase they buy low quality parts that typically have very high spring rates and put them on cheap shocks.

Or, they think a 350lb spring is back breaking stiff.

I can't find the thread anymore but there was a guy that had ebay coilovers and the spring rates ended up being 650lb for all 4!

I find my 350lb front springs to be too soft. My 350lb rear springs do make it a bit rougher on bumps. Rear rates much more often contribute to ride comfort problems than front rates.

Yes, my 350lb rears deffinetly make it a little harsh, and not as comfy as I would like sometimes, however they deffinetly are not that stiff.
