I'd add that for most autox chores, a good adjustable shock will do wonders. &nbsp;Actually, I've heard a lot of good about the Koni's performance, but personally, wouldn't get them b/c you must remove the rears to adjust (not that most peope would ever do that...). &nbsp;Ditto w/ the HTS. &nbsp;GABs (which are hard to find are the easiest adjusted, but get pricey). &nbsp;

A coilover set up (threaded shockbody and matched spring set) is overkill unless you are a serious autoxer or lapper. &nbsp;These have several drawbacks - too stiff, too low, what if you blow one?, etc. &nbsp;But, if you want all out performance and will sacrifice daily driving, they are the way to go. &nbsp;BTW: most coilovers can't be raised to stock heights anyway as they are more for corner weighting than road conditions, so that's not really an issue.
