monroes are fine?

napa has fronts and backs, while rock auto only seems to have the rears, but they are cheaper than napa.

Are they leaking? Bounce too many times? I wouldn't do any of that unless it was broken.

little bit bouncy, but the eibach, and blisteins are not only supposed to lower the ride about 60mm, but improve handling and comfyness like crazy.

sort of crappy advice esp you running on tokico's ;)

I picked a $1200 coilover set over a $3k one myself (KTS Beta vs the others)...

Just use tirerack and go to one of their stores. One of them is located just two hours northeast of Purdue. I can give you directions if you'd like.

That car is as good as sold. Next time around i'll be at least Konis...I don't think I really need coilovers.

Besides, those Tokicos have been awesome. I don't regret geetting them at all.

Thanks...

I can't believe I am his dad and I paid what could have bought my last beer that night to do it.
