Hey Guys,
I'm currently running Spax adjustables and hilos, but I was wondering if anybody here have converted to coil overs.

Did you notice any improvement??? Am I better of spending money else where???

Any info given would be greatly appreciated.

cheers
Heath

Trash the Spax dampers, fir MSC C-STR687 up-rated rubber springs and either AVO or Koni Sport dampers. The coil-overs are simply a mistake in design - the springs are way too small in diamtere and rates are just not there... A 'sale' point item in my humble opinion. KC.
