Bought the coilovers here on the forum, but decided to go a different route. As per previous owner they were only used for a couple of weeks. Everything included struts, springs (250#), cc plates. I also have a brand new UPR adjustable rear spring (150#) kit. Items located in McAllen, TX

$350 QA1 coilovers + shipping
$100 UPR rear kit + shipping

I am interested in both. However, I need some impression of the ride quality of this set up. I drive predominantly highway when not dragging.

It depends on your car weight.. I had the same with 14-200fronts and 10-200 rear springs on my 3v. The front felt good and weight transferred well, the back was too stiff for a DD IMO but it hooked extremely well. I think it was around 3250 when I weighed it.

I can't say on the fronts but I have the rear setup on mine, except with 200# springs and it rides very well, much better then the Steeda Ultra-Lites I was using. Mine weights in at 3700# so I needed the 200# springs.

Do you have a pick of the car like this?

It was on 26" tires and I could have went lower, but I scraped going into the driveway if any lower.

Damn you! You made me think how much I miss that car!
