That is making me move more towards coilovers, especially based on what Rochester posted earlier.

Ah, the power of words.

Please keep me appraised of the things you figure out, Choman.

GL with your decision.

Here I am rereading this thread, having just spent a fortune on rims and tires, only to be miserable about the poke in the rear at OEM height with 19x10 at +42.

Newt has been talking to me about how the negative camber introduced with a drop was what made his rims work for him. Would you agree, Bota?

Not spring related but I could have sworn that Koni now had a strut for the sedan. I was researching not too long ago and working with Adam Race Consulting. IIRC he found a set for the RWD sedan which, naturally, wouldn't work for me but may work for some of you folks.

Either way, I'll keep following this.
