Coil overs on the street?

I like my granatelli kit with QA1 springs.

Heres UPRs kit...The ride is very nice...Better than stock...

UPR will help you decide. Alot of variables come into play. Example: Aluminum or iron heads, street,strip,or road course. Just give them a call...

i have the full mm coil over kit it was 1,600 dallars knowing the differance it made in my car i would have paid 3600 for the same results, you will never regret the money for a second, mm has custom tuned bilstines, and as any good racer knows the suppension is 98% about the shocks, call mm buy and enjoy a brand new car

UPR=GARBAGE!!!!! Period!!!

Had them on my 89 coupe.

The "ONLY" reason I had them on was because I used to do some work for UPR and I got them for free.

They DO rattle and they DO make noise. There are NO rubber isolaters so they transmit every road noise into your car.

When you jack the car up there is NO tension on the spring and the whole assembly just flops around.

I would NEVER do it again in a street car. Its just not worth it IMHO.


Sorry for the rant, just don't want you to be dissapointed, thats all.

If anyone tells you any different they are lying to you.

If I was going to even consider a coilover setup it would have to have isolaters and be solidly mounted to the strut.

Yea, comin from someone who sold one of the nicest coupes Ive ever seen





J/K! So you think I should hold out and save for the MM kist? im only doing the front because I will eventually have a tubular K member and tubular A arms.

Lol...Yeah well.... Thanks for the compliment. My new car fit the shoes nicely to replace it.

Yes, if it were me I would wait until you could save up for the better kit. It seems MM is one of the best ones out on the market and would probably be the one I would buy if I had to do it again. That or KW or something alike.

As far as the K-Member and a-arms are concerned, they were nice and worked well but I do not support or reccomend anything they sell anymore due to the owner's poor busniess ethics.

Let's just say I have made him a lot of money off my ideas....

Do yourself a favor and just get the MM kit. You will not be sorry. But the above poster is right, it's all about the shocks.

I have GMS coilovers, I didn't notice any difference in the drivabilty, except for the fact I coud adjust them easily.
