your right not many choices. fe5 is very good little stiff. Kyb I call fe4 quick rate little softer. Koni makes some for it but when you add a set of good springs (YYZ) so many dollars, I just went coilovers

All in all I will prob some about 6-700 with just lowering springs. I like the idea or coil overs but still a lot of money over what I would spend to lower it.

Anyone have a picture of how the rear coil overs look on the ss? Do you still use the shock in the back?

hehe yeah that would be nice. I dunnos though have to think on it a bit. I've already ordered replacement rear shocks but that's it other than my sway bar stuff.

By Sway bar I mean the replacement Moog End Links and ES Bushings for the front Sway Bar. I'm getting the notorious "clunk" from the front end.

Do a measure before and after on the fender height....I suspect that it will sit 3/8" lower with these shocks compared to fe5. But I didn't check when I did it...
