To our valued customers:
Due to the increase in costs, many manufacturers have begun increasing their prices to offset the higher cost in materials, labor, shipping and overall production. As a result, pricing at the consumer level will also be increasing as we are required to follow suit due to MAP laws and violations. It is our promise to all that JM Auto Racing will maintain its low pricing in every way we can and continue to provide you with excellent service and to troubleshoot all your problems. Thank you again for being the most important part of our business.

So at this time I have sportline coils and koni adjustable shocks and struts. To tell you the truth Im tired of the hard feeling every bump i hit. I want something that keeps the performance but has a smoother ride. Do the coil overs offer a better ride? Also what or how do they set up in the rear? meaning do I keep the springs in the rear or do the spring and rear shock bolt back up to the location of the stock shock? Im ready to buy something new instead of new teeth everytime I drive my car... thanks

From past experience, Coil-overs generally ride much harder than lowering springs because the spring rates are higher.

These will completely replace your shocks and springs that you have in the rear now.

Do you have the Konis set to FULL soft (or no more than 1/4 off soft) in the rear?
Do you have the fronts set no more than 1/2 off full soft?
Reason I say this is that I just put konis on the rear of my TC with Pedders. At first, I set em to 1 turn from soft and they were WAY to stiff! I finally took em off and reset to just off (1/4 turn) FULL SOFT and it was like NIGHT and DAY! There's a tendency to set these too stiff..DON'T DO IT.

Hardly no change in the ride when crusing on the highway if there are no bumps or cracks. but if you hit a pothole or drive on a poorly paved road in town than you feel it lol. Its not bouncy but it is extremely stiff. if you lean on the car it dosnt budge. but all of this is expected when you lower any car. but i couldnt tell give you any comparisons because this is the first time ive done this. but i am very happy with the way it turned out.
