    the only major design flaw's i see with coilovers for these cars, is that they are too damn long. We need struts that are 2'' shorter, and use a 2peice jam nut.. Not 1 with a set screw.

    BlownBigBlock (who just sold a set of coils) Had the best DIY set I've seen period. Loved his Top mount setup, and the Strange Coil over kit for a mustang... I'd love to duplicate his setup, but the limiting factor is that they only max out so far... That's were my statement of the strut body's being 2'' smaller would come into play.

    If coilover's were made to go WAY lower than they already do. You could count me in on buying a set, as long as their well thought out, and could possibly have a camber adjustable top plate.

    Woohoo I bought his set of coilovers. Still waiting on them but I'm so pumped. IMO they look better than helds or intense. They also have the helper springs and sealed bearings, but yes, the top mounts are very nice!

    if you EVER want to sell those after you have your fun, you Let me know! (if this other guy make's good coilovers, i'll be patiently waiting for prototypes, and could buy thoese if they appeal to me)

    i wanted them in the worst way, but i just couldn't get that kind of money together to buy them. Nice seeing that they went to someone who will appreciate the build quality.
