Hows it going? Well I am new to suspension mods and am looking for a little help locating a coil over kit, the LG kit is to pricey for me. A explaination as to why this is better then just regular lowering springs would be nice to. I am guessing its the adjustability.

Adjustable ride height, "any" spring rate you want, corner weights, lighter than stock setup, or save your money.

 

I see, so how do the other coil over kits compare to LGs one. Keep in mind I am not a serious racer so I can settle for little less than perfection.

 

checkout:
www.groundcontrol.com
www.globalwest.com
both of these companies make coilover setups for 4th gens.
I have used the Ground Control and it works very well.
The GW kit is nice in that it is tuned to work with the other GW products (torque-arm, LCA's/brakets).
The truth be told, if this is a 100% street car, a set of coilovers is probably not the best use of your $$.
Coilovers do allow adjustability, which is crittcal on a racer; but for a street car how valuable is that...
I would probably invest in a set of Lowering springs, and spend the extra $$ on a set of good weld-in SFCs.

Something else about the LG setup is that its the only one that is rodended, which if your seriously roadracing, is a big plus when making your choice. For a daily driver, it means little though.
