[QUOTE="DanPromote, post: 114189, member: 1834"] Update since I got my coilover setup today! The monotube coilover kit consists of 1. Front set of height adjustable coilovers (6kg spring rate) 2. Rear lowered progressive spring and absorbers comes with 1 yr wty and lifetime servicible. I encountered a bit of problem during setup, the rear spring was too low. Though it made the car looks damn canggih (it reached the top of the rim area till I can't see the tyres). So I had to swap the rear springs for a similar height one like my eibach to have a more comfortable ride. The front, at the highest point is just slightly lower than stock suspension while the lowest setting is slightly lower than the Eibachs that I had. I set it up at the lowest setting since it looks just nice ... overall setup just slightly lower than Eibachs. I was a bit concerned with the bumpiness associated with coilovers so I specially requested for a softer spring rate (standard was 7kg, I opted for 6kg). My first impression when I drove my car with the new setup... it feels firmer. The ride is just slightly harder/bumpier than Eibachs + Bilsten black/stock rear that I had earlier. I immediately felt an aura of confidence since the bodyroll is almost eliminated compared to Eibachs which still had some minor body roll. The car goes where I want it to go and the response is more immediate. Fast sweeping corners also felt grippier and braking response also improved! Overall, I'm very satisfied! [/QUOTE]
