if you dont care about ride quality then get them. All of those coilover kits are junk. If you want coilover gett he Carrera or the Progress Group. They are $$$$, but worth it. If money is an issue then get regular lowering springs. Regular lowering spring will ride better than the coilover kits.

I am glad someone likes their coilovers. I know two people that have the Weapon R coilovers and they both hate them. To each it to their own.

Coilovers are really good for smooth roads. If you are looking for a tough suspension that won't give an inch, then coilovers are good. If you are looking for a "comfortable" ride, then springs are the way to go. On a decent road surface with turns, coilovers will handle better, but have a rough ride. Are you looking for performance or for a comfortable ride?

Weapon-r's do have a schitty rep. Do you have the ones with dual springs? The soft as f#@k one on top and hard as hell on the bottom? It's supposedly like 2 inches of floaty travel and then WHAM!! The other spring kicks in. Sounds like schit to me.
