I hear about people on here all the time that lower their cars and think it's not low enough. So, I have started leaning towards GC coil overs or aerospeeds.

The only problem I have with coil overs is that they supposedly make some noise. Do you guys with them have a problem with it? SO, I was thinking.... if I put the sleve on the shock, and welded it to the shock, it would be FIRMLY in place, and then if I were to put on the actual mount that the spring sits on, and place a rubber washer or something on top of it, the spring wouldn't rattle or creak at all.

Awaiting your thoughts...

also, some E-bay coilovers look Ok... maybe...

i'm going to get some koni's to go with my gc's. i bought some monroe struts but they can't handle being lowered, so if your going to weld the sleeves to a strut (that's what i'm doing too) i wouldn't use stock replacement shocks, the adjustability is what you will need.

just trying to help. the ride quality sucks ass on stock shocks, i just hope it gets better with the koni's. hell, if they can keep me from bottoming out i'll be happy.

ehh, don't the springs keep you from bottoming out? thats why, in auto-x, when you have very high rate springs, they sometimes remove the bump stop altogether. to give it a little more travel, because they know the high spring rates will keep it from completely bottoming out and destroying the strut. meh, i dunno. whatever...
