    I am going to buy coil overs soon and wondering if one is better than the other and why? I Will be doing this to raise the rear and lower the front for better traction at the track. Ive done the cable mod before but don't feel like dealing with having to cable the rear end up every time I go to the track. Thanks

    intense don't retain the rear sway bar mounting points if you're not able to get mounts put on yourself.

    and ZZP are redistributed from here: http://www.arrautmotorsports.com/parts/w-body

    buy from the source and don't pay the upcharge.


    or make your own coilovers using a set of BC racing coils from another car.

    Not saying your wrong but I'm trying to understand. They are charging 1460 for complete and Zzp is charging 1400 I figured there would be more of a price difference

    add in the rear sway bar bracket (+$60).

    so apparently they're the same exact price.

    I don't need the rear sway bar anyway. I'm not looking to build my own , that's why I asked if anyone has experience with intense or ZZP coil overs..

    they're going to be very close to the same thing since they'll be stock struts that are shaved to accommodate sleeves being pressed onto them for the spring seats to move up/down on. so....whichever is cheaper since you clearly don't care how the car handles.

    but to also throw another wrench in your plan anytime you change the ride height you completely ruin the alignment so your idea of raising it at the track while you're there, if that's what you meant, will be a bit risky considering the car will be all sorts of wonky after the ride height changes significantly.
