So i have mopar s3 coilovers in my car right now but have a friend that wants to buy them for a grand, so i wondering if i sell them and run konis will i be happy?

i dont really have my car lowered that much with the s3's maybe 1.5in at most and i have stock srt springs so i could run the height close to the same, what im worried is that ill loose handleing or ride by switching?

let me know what you think!

Awful they like require work and stuff to install. You cant get mad low I mean you can get way lower on BCs and Megans are super cheap yo

^ That was all sarcasm. The yellow Koni sport is by far the best off the shelf shock for these cars. The install is cake if you can work a pipe wrench and drill. Ground control makes a fine sleave and camber plate combo if you want to stay with a coilover. You will want to get them revalved by TrueChoice for the specific spring rates you wish to use. Be sure to have them matched and then leave the knob alone! Get dyno plots for all 4 shocks.

pricing is all pretty close if I wasnt going to bother with revalving I would order from
www.FWDperformance.com
simply because they do a lot for the neon and turbo dodge commnity. If you want to get them revalved to the springs you are going to use I would order through truechoice
