Im sorry but the mopars are just poorly designed. The whole point of having coilovers is for adjustablity, and those you can only lower like 2 inches before you are on the stop rings and blowing them. And paying 1000+ on a coilover that is going to blow makes no sence to me. You might as well buy springs and try your luck on stock struts.

The way to go is get a coilover where the spring and strut shaft are both threaded, so you can maintain strut travel no matter how low you go. I soposibly have the POS of all coilovers, and I have not had one problem with them other than reusing the crappy stock top mounts (you have to reuse it for all coilovers anyway). I have full strut travel but my car is 3+ inches lower than stock.

I think this is one of the rare cases that you dont get what you pay for.

I can second that motion

I have #2 pos coilovers Ip2.....and I havent had a problem with them yet. I am dropped like 3 1/2 inches or more and I still have stock strut travel

im wantin to go with the teins (much later down the road of course). anyone besides tama have an experience with their coilovers? theyre supposed to be some of the best on the market.

hopefully soon they will release the new teins that they have been "developing" for a while, i emailed them and they said they dont have any sort of time frame yet

supposed to be the same as the SS's but with pillow-ball upper mounts and camber plates in the front

i think for now im gonna throw some srt-4 struts & goldline springs until i see how those new teins pan out, or IF they pan out..

I have the IPP2's also, the height and dampening adjust able ones. they look like they are made really well, they WILL BE finally installed in 2 weeks, after I get paid again. I cant wait
