Still, H&R's are reasonable at $1200, KSports are even more reasonable @ ~$900 - making them about the same price as new shocks and springs
Very true

Then the options for coilovers are used or KSports - contact Acuteperformance and see what he can do for you, he is a very respected vendor here.

are these KSports worth it, or should i just wait and pay a little extra??? I guess im just running into wanting a nice set of 19 inch wheels and a aggressive stance.. thinking about a 9.5 or 10 inch rear wide tire. im trying to plan accordingly on my build..

You should go with a 10.5 rear with 25 offset. Fits perfectly flush and its an aggressive fitment what you want. Thats what I have while running 295's with that, most people only run 275's or at most 285's on here. Im going with 305's on my next set.

My wheels are Beyern Bavaria a brand new forged 2 piece wheel that came out in Feb. Forged wheels are usually expensive (double) compared to cast wheels. There really light 8-10 pounds less each so its noticeable. I got my at Discount tire for the normal going rate for them at around $280 a wheel. Check out www.beyernwheels.com. All there other wheels are cast but these. They make them in black and silver.

Forgot and cast wheels are a lot stronger. So they don't bend as easily.
