Default Del Sol - suspension?

Hi!

I'm looking into putting new suspension on my car, I need something with adjustable height for when I put my rotas on in the summer, and steelies on in the winter. I need something very reliable, nothing thats gonna **** out on me after a few months of driving. I want a nice smooth ride - with decent handeling, but smooth > performance as I am just a dialy, and don't normally push my car to its limits.


Anyway, can't decide if I want to go spring / strut or just buy a coilover set. Not looking to break the bank, but I'm not going for bargin bin eaither.


Looking for recomendations from ya'll, with experiences with differnt setups, thanks for the help!

you can get ksports full coilover setup for under $600 from jlbmotorsports....btw you aren't going to have adjustable height if you go with springs

if you go spring/strut, stick with ground control, if you want decent ride quality don't go over a 500lb spring, and get a good adjustable strut, if you can't afford koni's or illuminas go with kyb's.

i hear that omnipower coil overs are decent if you're on a budget.

and please stay away from drop zones.

I'm not sure what I wanna go with right now, don't really know anyone with experience out side of OEM suspension, which is why I'm askin' for input on the boards.


Budget isn't really an issue, I'd like to stay $500-$800 range.
(if you guys can provide links to things - i'd be ALOT of help )
