Even with the blue pills they are still softer than OEM, too stiff isn not always a good thing.

is there a springs v.s. coilovers thread? i cant find it in search.
are coilovers stiffer than springs?
i dont see why so many prefer coilovers over springs. how often do you want to adjust ride height???

why not just get the perfect drop on springs and call it a day?

Im in Utah and we also get some bad winters, and horrible streets, and it seems like you can driver anywhere without huge dips, entrances.
so i would'nt want to go to low. and want the ride to be *** smooth as possibe, would springs make for a softer ride?

springs might have a more comfy right depending on your coilover settings... if you are slammed and then you have the hardest settings... mayb... springs might have slightly more comfy ride.... ut back to my question is $899 for an MRR GT1 reasonable??

another thing... a perfect drop on the springs is very difficult to achieve... sometimes you might wanna cut the springs before you get a perfect drop if your rims are very stretched... if in my case.. i am dropped on Tein S-techs and i have a 225/35-19 and 235/35-19 it is indeed a pretty flushed set up and thus i need not to cut the springs.. getting coilover is not about adjusting the ride height frequently.. is to get the right drop..
