I have XYZ coilovers, I love them, some don't. The handling is awesome, not bouncy, but not too firm. The ride isn't far away from stock. Only issue is when turning into a steep upward incline driveway or something, it cocks a rear wheel off the ground, this has happened twice, I'm no suspension expert so not exactly sure why, less travel I guess. They are set quite low, will raise them slightly when the new wheels go on. This could definately be an issue in a car without an LSD though.

Hey Guys, Just replacing the springs, will the factory shocks be able to handle them? If so how long will they last before you need to change them?

What springs are you fitting? Anything other than King Spring lows will ideally need shortened shocks

Sorry I was asking if changing springs only. So if you only change it with King's Springs Low, nothing else should need ton be changed?

$280 for the springs delivered from GSL Rally Sport, $250 for my mechanic to fit them and $55 for an allignment.

Total cost $585 and well worth it.

Did you end up lowering it Dan?
I'm picking up King springs superlows tomorrow for $260 and probably get them fitted on Thursday for about 200-250
