I have a PA tubular k and a arm setup up front in my coupe and now that the drivetrains in with the front eibach springs the car is sitting lower than I'd like with the 17s on it and I'm a little concerned about the tires rubbing the fenders. So I'm thinking about pulling the Eibachs and switching over to a coilover setup on my Lakewood 70/30s. I already have BBK caster/camber plates and I've been checking around at a few different coilover brands but what would you all recommend that have coilover experience and what height spring and spring rate do you recommend? The cars a daily driver other than snow and crap weather and it will definitely see some track time

I can't comment on the drag setup, but I have MM coil overs with a 325# 10" hypercoil spring on Bilsteins. The ride is amazingly not harsh, way better than stock. If your caster/camber plates are aluminum, I would be alittle concerned. I'm not saying they are bad, but from what I have read, steel is the way to go with coilovers.
