Everyone always throws a name out there without info to backup why...
I have the Tein SS CO's. 16 dampening settings, lifetime warranty, fully rebuildable, NO sloppy gap in the top strut mount plate and replacable springs with your choice of different rates. Equivilent to KW's and several hundred dollars cheaper.
I have Mopar stage 2's and they are very well built peice. DIRECT bolt on in that not one wire hold down is in a different place than stock. Great daily ride with an agressive enough setting to handle the twisties. Great shock combo.
Got S2 coilovers on my car and i like them very much and a drastict improvement over stock, alot less bodyroll and now i can turn in with confidence ride quality isnt too bad either,check out performance dodge i got my S2 for $960 shipped during their labor day sale and everything is a direct bolt up.
But frankly, I wouldn't go coilovers. I did them once, and they're just too annoying. Trying to get the car to sit even, and then after that you have to corner balance the car so it doesn't have some wierd weight preload on one wheel vs the others, and then get it all aligned.
Now if you want to raise or lower the car after that, you have to re-cornerbalance and realign the car, and make sure it still sits even so you don't look like a crooked retard :-P
IMO I would just pick a good spring/strut combo. it's cheaper to align the car once than it is to be replacing tires all the time from incorrect alignments, plus I HATE it when the steering wheel isn't straight!
And do you know anyone with the 4 scales to corner balance the car?
is there a handling difference bw coilover, or springs n struts, cause I want something thats badass control and comfort, if this means you have to adjust it then I would guess coilovers ride better?
if you are going really low, yes coilovers will provide a bit smoother ride than the conventional strut/spring combo. But you have to take into account price differences and the ammount of supplemental adjusting you need to do when lowering/raising the coil.
I choose the stage 3 co from mopar. The price was $1300 I had them in a matter of two days. As for a place that does the corner balencing and the alignment I would suggest Speedware motorsports in Redmond. They were great and I have had no problem with tire wear. I have had them for 6 monthes and just love them. Cant say anything about tein or the others but for what I wanted they do the job.
