i've never had them, but i can tell you their bouncy from my friends experience with them. i say send 'em back and get omnipower slip coilovers, their like 280.. do you have aftermarket shocks/struts too?

this should probably be moved to the suspension forum.

you minus well get shocks/struts while your at it too. eventually you will need them so while you already have the springs off i say replace the shock too. i made that mistake and got coilovers first, then blew a stock shock, then had to redo it all over again and it was a pain in the ***.

I just didn't want someone saying an expression incorrectly for the rest of their lives. It wasn't like I was calling out a typo.

I really don't care how you personally speak. And after I click the post button, I'll forget you even existed.
