Coilovers are expensive but worth it IMO if you can spring the cash for them. There is nothing like having the adjustability there when you need it.

Well that settles it then. I believe I'll go with the Megan racing coilovers. Can't go over my mod budget if I want to have enough cash for the future fiance's ring.
Thank you all for the great feedback

Agreed.

But coilovers are great if you plan on adjusting your suspension a lot (a lot). From what I've seen on here, no one is in that category.

In a perfect world, drop springs would come with a set of matching shocks.

I believe all the kits going out now have the rubber piece but I would just confirm prior to ordering.
