I don't own a terminator...sadly I really want one though. But I'm heavly into roadracing and I could probably give you some tips.. between me and THEDUKEOFEARL could probably answer most of your questions.
Well guys I found a good deal on a stock k member so I went with that But Im still interested in the aftermarket parts for the near future. Is there an advantage with coilovers compared to non coilover with HR Racing springs Im looking to handle the corners but still be able have a little straight line fun once in a while

Coilovers are the way to go. If you going to do it, do it right the first time. That's what I think atleast. On my car I have Koni double adjustables, and eibach springs. They are awesome.

Huge advantages with coilovers. The spring is moved out by the wheel. The stock spring position is so close to the arm pivot that it causes a lot of bind and can mask bad bushings. With the spring out at the wheel the suspension movement is much more smooth, also the wheel rate is very close to 1:1. You lose a considerable ammount of weight and gain the ability to adjust ride height and corner weight. I had nothing but gains from coilovers and zero negatives.
I am running 450 lb fronts and 650 lb rears. Both Afco springs. You may ask isnt that backwards? No. On the IRS cobras when changing to coilovers the rear mount is farther inboard and requires a bigger spring.
