Best Coil-overs for the buck and handling?

What are the best coil-overs for the buck? I want something that I can instal with having to take it to a shop for an alignment. But something that is adjustable and will make a huge difference in cornering/ handling. Thanks again. Links to a site would help too.

Pedders are a popular choice. We can even you free shipping if you order this week.

I probably won't be read to buy a set till Jan time frame to be honest, if I'm spending that much. Any other suggestions? Also, can I order a INJEN intake tube only? No filter....

Keep in mind you pay for what you get in coil overs. If you just want low, dont care about handling, then you can get cheap china made ones. Really only true non-china made ones are Pedders and KW.

Wow...KW....

That is the Rolls Royce of aftermarket suspensions, as far as I'm concerned. They are really built to take punishment too. But be prepared to pay really big bucks. Probably 2-3 times what Pedders charge.

Actually, they are cheaper: http://www.autoanything.com/suspensi...15A2827A1.aspx

but do they require adjustment?

It depends on which ones. I think there are about 8-10 different groups of suspensions. I suggest you go to the KW suspension website and look for what is in your realm. You can search for price later, at other websites.

Anytime you alter the suspension, like lowering etc, It is prudent to have an alignment check it to be sure..
