Coilovers?

I heard that stock MP5 struts wear out with lowered springs. So coilovers would be the best option? Which brand would anyone choose. Around how much would they cost?

dude you need to to a bit more research on this subject before you start throwing your money around. Any cars stock struts will not fair very well after a while with stiffer springs. check your other post for info on coil overs. You need to decide what you are looking for before you can decide to go with a coil over setup or just stiffer struts.

Coilover prices (Please correct me if these prices are wrong)
Full kits:
Tein $1350
JIC $1800

Stock Strut Destroyers:
Ground Control
Skunk2
Neither of these are as expensive, but I would not reccomend them

Yes, I would have to agree with Installshield. Do some research. I bought my Skunk 2 coils a while ago, if I could go back in time I would have saved and purchased JIC or Tein coil overs.

You pay for what you get...think about it!
