Al Kaholick 11-06-2002, 08:53 PM its getting close to being time for my reas suspension to be done, and im trying to justify the extra cost of the coilovers just because to me they have a much higher cool factor, about 12.9 as opposed to the 7.3 of standard coils. But ive been racking my brain trying to think of more benifits to them over coils besides that the spring wont deflect. Im sure theres more reasons out there, so what are they? Josh rednekit 11-06-2002, 08:59 PM one that i can think of is you would not have to buy shocks, or need a place to mount them Toyman 11-06-2002, 09:12 PM 1) Less stuff to mount (one item instead of a coil and a shock) 2) Longer extension. (I think) 3) More configurable spring rate. 4) Smaller diameter. bgreen 11-06-2002, 09:22 PM Most improtant is better control of the rig more adj. ability easier mounting best shocks and springs on the market longest travel and only about 500 bucks more than a good coil setup with the new long travel adj. rancho's PIG 11-06-2002, 09:33 PM Originally posted by Al Kaholick its getting close to being time for my reas suspension to be done, and im trying to justify the extra cost of the coilovers just because to me they have a much higher cool factor, about 12.9 as opposed to the 7.3 of standard coils.

Josh Dude, have you ever ridden in a vechicle with good race shocks. Its FAWKing amazing. Also, as mentioned above: adjustability, space, etc. A properly dialed in shock WILL blow your mind. OK, thats all I have to say. The Jerk 11-06-2002, 09:36 PM Originally posted by PIG Dude, have you ever ridden in a vechicle with good race shocks. Its FAWKing amazing.
