i've been running them for close to 40k miles, and i have to drive some really messed up roads everyday, which is why these will be nice since i won't lose any suspension trave and i can adjust the dampening 36 ways.

Sorry about that. I had no idea. Was searching and fond this thread. I think its a very important thread. Looking forward to hearing from you. Also, what do you think a dealer would say about these coilovers? Everyone I know says coil overs is best way to go. Springs is just a cheap way out and destorys stock struts....

i dont see how the dealer could say anything if properly installed and aligned, they also come with pillowtop mounts so you can adjust the camber back to the factory setting.

i'll take second in line! keep me posted!!

how many miles on the springs? If you have the original box, it shouldnt be too hard to figure out shipping. just input box size and weight on the USPS, fedex, or UPS site and it will tell you the rest!
