Well I was just about to buy some Tien SSP's which have the adjustable dampening and camber plate on the top.. Do you think these would be a super stiff ride? I figured it could be corrected because of the dampening.

Which ones would be a nice ride? that would have the same gear the teins would?

Mopar stage 3 + mopar camber plates (even though they aren't needed unless you are hitting up the road course).

The Tein spring rates are too stiff in the rear and will make the back a bit bouncy.

Well I thought the camber plates would be nice to adjust the camber back out from where im lowering it i really hate camber wear. But anyhow I was looking for a bit better ride than what I have now but not too soft.. So you really think the tein's are a bad idea? Right now im on stock struts w/ tein S techs. If I were to go with the S3 how much would the plates cost me extra over top the 1500 that they already are?

plates are about 300 a set.

mopar/kw coilovers have more than enough camber adjustment in the clevis bolts. You can go from positive camber to about -2° with STOCK clevis bolts and the slots in the coilovers when you are lowered to the stop rings.

Default coil overs

Is it possible that some of the lower quality units have a higher spring rate to mask a lower dampening ability?
Are some of the units listed having problems that anyone has come across? Or any adjustment problems?
Even a less expensive set is still more than a small investment.

My megan racing coilovers showed up today. Just curious to know if I need a spring compressor to remove my stock springs from the assembly. I was reading though the instructions that came with the coilovers and they mentioned in...

Got the coilovers installed today. Ride hight is exact same as stock for now. Will be doing the adjustaments tomorrow. Do I need shorter end links when it comes time to lower the rear's?

Default Clubsport Kw Coilovers.

I would first like to mantion that KW has come out with a new line of coilover. The CLUBSPORT. These coilovers unlike the Var models, are made for roadrace use. They are hieght, rebound, compression adj. and they come with pillow ball mount camber pltes, witch are about 1/2" thick.

These coilovers are built really stout. One thing that is really noticable is, they are not shiny stainless, they have like a yellow cadium tint to them. The top bolt hole that is slotted for camber, have guide rails where the nut rides.

These were just released withing the last couple of months, so more then likely, knowbody has heard of seen these yet. They are listed on thisr web site for $2995. I am sure they will going for less from thier distribitors

I am getting a set within the next couple of weeks.

To answer some of your questions on what will work best "street and strip"? There are just way to many variables.
