Personally, I won't buy any springs other than Eibach.

My reasoning is quite simple, 1 year warranty or 1 million mile liftetime warranty?

As far as shocks go, save and wait for the Koni Yellows your patience will pay off in the end.

whats the diff between complete coilovers and the coil over kit, aside from the $550 price differnce. Do the full coilovers come with the shocks? and the kit goes on an existing set of shocks? Confused and wondering how they can be so different in price

Nevar!!! I'm a stingy SOB when it comes to money spent and I've been researching springs since 2001.



I think Omni is getting this huge rave because of the higher spring rates they have.

The great thing about the Ground Controls, pick any spring rate you want, Eibach makes it and GC will ship it that way.

Yup. Complete Coilovers come with a damper (shock)

It's always a good thing to do your own research as well.
