I understand where u come from but dropping 2k on coilovers on a car that sits in storage for the whole winter and driven just for late spring and summer then back to storage and on top of that don't intend to keep the car for more than Tamar summerS if thatI just need something to lower the car get rid of a little bit of gap so I can put in some 20 inch wheels that I like to buy that's all

Or if your going 20s get 245/35 and 285/30 size tires which keeps tolerances in check, gives you about a half inch more in gap closure between arch and tire, makes your Speedo read spot on and very rarely rubs only on rears. I get asked all the time what I am lowered on.

Those with coils, what spring rates are you running? Linear or progressive? I'm wanting to order kine for daily drive duty. Not sure if 8k/6k linear are going to ride well.
