Well that's how this whole thread started, with a complete kit minus the camber plates, then opinions were given and some spurred my curiosity, adjustable struts and shocks seemed like a good thing but then I read some negative stuff about Strange struts rattling around due to a narrower shaft, there were more than one who said they were using the Strange struts and I wondered if they have an issue? When I can I like to keep it all the same manufacturer, hence the Trickflow top end kit installed this past summer, but in the end I would like the best possible ride with a lowered spring.
It is human nature I guess, when presented with too many options there is no correct decision, aaahhhhh. Maybe I'll cut a half coil off the friggin stock springs and be done with it .hahaha
Take your time, get some more input from guys with coilovers, to much work and money to jump in to something. Is car just for street or ya gonna go to track sometimes, do you need the stiffer ride for better handling? Mine was to be my track day car but I like it so much I drive it to work most of the summer, long ride but mostly highway. Got a new toy for track but I still like to fool around with it.

I have no experience on the roadcourse, but that is the scariest looking roadcourse I have ever seen. Good job driving that thing!

Mine don't rattle. Except if there is a major pot hole or something of that nature, I hear a slight noice. MM CC plates,coilovers,and their installation kit for the strange struts. Best combo I've ever ran and am very happy.
It's just a street car, will never be auto crossed or be a drag car. I just wanna lower it some and not have my teeth rattle around in my mouth, Looking for that magical combination where it gets lower but still achieve the best possible ride all for under 1,000 bucks.
I went through the exact same predicament when choosing springs and struts. Too many damn options. I ended up giving maximum motorsports a call since I don't know anything about spring/damper rate matching and they suggested a koni str.t strut with h&r supersports with their CC plates for my daily driven fox that will never see an autocross. This setup is just under $900 if you pay full price. That being said this setup is awesome! It's hardly a worse ride than stock and its probably even smoother than stock at speed. It handles like a go kart (compared to the stock suspension) and I got about a 1.5 in drop in the front and 1 in in the back after everything settled. I would recommend
x 1000. I did this last summer. MM CC plates, Stock front control arm replacement. MM full length connectors, MM heavy duty lowers and FRPP uppers with rubber bushings. Got some traction back, not too stiff, and handles much better. I'll post some pictures so you can see the stance, lowered nicely but not slammed.
So after much consideration and combing through the internet........I'm no closer to making a decision, but I think I have narrowed it down a bit. I'm leaning towards the Eibach pro's, Steeda or H &R sports for springs and either the Tokico blues, Koni orange or the Strange 10 ways for struts and shocks. I am concerned with some saying the 10 ways can rattle with certain CC plates so I may rule them out. I'll do a little more research and then i gotta make a decision to get it all completed for spring.

If you go with the H&R's, I'd be curious to see the results. I have the tok blues and am looking for a new spring setup. I should really go coil overs...but not yet...
