Been thinking about adding coilovers to the 2008 and also been thinking about holding out and getting a newer model. Question: which would handle-feel better? 2008 with coilovers or the newer isf suspension system?

Most coilover system would handle better than a stock suspension. The Ohlins are almost available for the F. I would get that one. I might get rid of my KW's and get the Ohlins coilovers.

What you're asking is a matter of preference and opinion, which everyone has a different taste... Support the economy and buy both...let us know your findings

What do you plan on doing with your car? Track, drag, daily with a drop, etc. no sense in dropping the money on a setup that's geared towards track if your just driving it like a normal car.

If you can afford it then going into a newer model is the way to go. Things are improved enough that you won't be complaining. If you don't really want to spend much and just want "better" than the 08 setup then get coilovers. Personally I'm looking at the BC's from Figs which his recommended rates.

If I had the money I would jump into a 2010+ for sure. The LSD, LED headlights, new tach, and the suspension improvements are all worthy upgrades IMO.

Well, you need a Limited Slip Diff before you start upgrading your suspension.

What is your current challenge with the '08 Suspension?

Alot of research and testing goes into OEM suspension, I always find it funny when people rip everything out....

Thanks for all the feedback. I'm just your daily driving spare who's good for 25k miles per year. I've heard rave reviews about the coilovers and the new suspension. Love my 08 but man hitting some of ruff spots on the road can be a little jarring. But i didn't buy the isf for the smooth Cadillac ride either. I'm just torn between modding the ole car vs. getting a prettier newer one.

Wait for someone to sell their setup off of a newer car. The only coils I have experience with are tien basic and KW. KW's were amazing! Basics were basically a back breaker with only the option to lower the car. If your just looking for comfort I would say get a set with damper control and find what setting suits your liking.

You're going to get more out of your time and money by upgrading to an aftermarket kit than going with another OEM setup.
