Coilovers are overrated. Get a good set of springs with properly matched shocks and you'll be much happier. You need a spring with a much higher rate combined with a nice Bilstein or the like..

i have a set, used less then 300 miles, evo X GSR factory coilover set up. Front and rear.
Since the RA and the GSR is in pair in weight. would be a good idea to put them in the RA if they fit.
Lower sitting and better -track oriented set up.
Also you dont have to bend over to get them
Just if some one interested PM me.
Pictures on request.

Coilovers are like power seats. 95% of the time you don't use them. Once their set you don't mess with them too much so it's pretty much a big waste of money and time. Most people that mod their cars don't race them or track them and would never need the range of adjustment they provide. They just want to say oh man I've got coilovers. Some of that 5% wants a street ride and then slams it for car shows.. Thats about it though

saying coilovers are overrated (such a blanket statement that just invites) is like saying that knives are overrated for poeple who dont use them, or winter tires are over rated for people who live in Miami, or suits are overrated for people whose dress code consists of tshirt and shorts, you get the point, i hope

I would respond in depth but the owners of a certain car would cry and reply back more stupid stuff.

Nah.. I don't feel like making any evo owners cry about the size of their *****/e-***** when you tell them they wasted their money on things. But do continue on, I enjoy it thoroughly

Or maybe we could just sell our Evos and Ralliarts and buy Mazdaspeeds so our e-***** could be the size of yours...

Oh my GOD, think of the money Porsche and Ferrari guys are wasting by not buying Mazdaspeeds instead of the overrated *****-enhancing cars they own.

Listen everybody...sell what you own and buy Mazdaspeeds so we can all have the wondercars that tell the world, we've seen the light and it was a Mazdaspeed headlamp!
