Post by Young Gunna » Fri Aug 11, 2006 8:09 pm

So i am interested in purchasing a coilover system for my 2002 R/T

what brand should i go with?

- Mopar?
- Eibach PRO-STREET ? <--- seems cheaper

Also are there any places where i can get them in Canada, or shipped to Canada?

Thank you

I'm surprised no one asked if you want sleeves or full coilover....cause mopar is full and eibach is sleeves so there is a big difference

Actually the eibachs are not sleeves

pn#2820.711

The gc's are sleeves but when matched with Koni inserts with the spring seat trimmed off the housing you basically have a full coilover set because you can now drop the highth as well as adjust dampning

you just completely contradicted yourself....whether they are fully adjustable on konis or not, you still have to mount them on regular struts....therefor they ARE sleeves

In your opinion what do you think a coilover is? Have you ever taken a coilover apart......all it is is a strut with a spring.....I am not understanding your FLAME yet so please excuse me if I sound ignorant of your ignorance

Here is what I am talking about
