Motorsport Dynamics is right down the street from my house they are asking $1,224.00. I was wondering if you guys thought this is a good deal.

for the basic hells no.. ebay has the same coilovers with camper plates front and rear for 850 + shipping

for 1224.00 you can get some flex's or some thing.

look into k sport they are like 850 and good stuff.

silk road is expensive but good. tanabe released some good coils.

when looking for coils see if they are adjustable in ride high and dampering. camber plates are a + if included. also look at the spring rate. that will tell you how hard or soft the ride will be.

good luck

That's freakin' ridiculous. You sure they're charging that much for the basics. Henry's a cool guy, I don't think they'll charge you that much for those.

Yah so I ended up deciding on a right in the middle setup.Im going to get the Tein S Tech springs and the KYB Gr2 struts.Not too expensive but im sure it will greatly improve my handling.
