Rep Power: 0 I am looking at getting new suspension very soon, on stock struts with goldlines. I did have my mind set on a set of Progress coilovers. But thinking about maybe just going with some new struts. Koni or mmaybe some Dspecs. Not sure though. Oly real reason I want coilovers is to get that perfect drop. Have a system, so the back is lower than front, and I hate it! Back is barely tucking, front is maybe a finger gap. (on 18s, 215/40) I want no gap all around, dont want to tuck. So what are your thoughts, mostly aggressive daily driving, but want it to be able to take whatever I throw at it without worries of anything blowing or breaking.
If I go with new struts, what should i do, keep goldlines, or get new springs, or just go with the progress coilovers?

Rep Power: 275 Goodtimes:
What are you going to be using the car for? Thats what it depends. If your street driving, dont change.
For Track:
1. Valved for Competition (koni)
2. Option to rebuild for competition and run heavier springs
3. Cheaper to interchange parts
Why Not to:
Because I love BG's and wish the company would stop moving around and get them back on the shelves. Im not only a salesmen for BG, Im also a client .

Rep Power: 0 Eddie, you should update your prices on this thread if you cant let the koni's go for $529 shipped anymore. Very disappointing. Want to order soon, really soon. But still cant make up my mind on what struts to order, I want to have a shop do the install, but I know I am gonna get raped up the *** for the "custom" work of cutting stock stuff to get them to fit. I dont have the tools or the time to do the install myself, shop will be easier and much quicker. Also reading threw old threads on the Konis, i will need new bumpstops from an 01 for them to work on my 03??? Everytime I read more about them I need more parts and more custom work. Wish someone would make something that fits 03+ without any modification or tearing apart stock struts.
