coilovers help you hook a lot better though, well worth the extra money.

I am not arguing that point, but lets face it we have base models for one reason or another (more than likely budget). So for the budget minded folk $400 for a set of FE5's is much more attainable and practical than $800-$1500 on Coilovers. I'd love coilovers but i cant justify the cost over my current FE5/Pro-kit setup.

you can get coils for 800$. jussssayin'

springs: 200
shocks: 200
install: 300

Megan coils: 800
install: 100

I'm just saying, if you're not going to install them yourselves, coils aren't that much more expensive than a full suspension switch.
