coilovers are prefect for racing and such....but for normal driving, its alot of money to spend

May I ask why? Adjustable true coilovers are freaking great, but an overkill for most neons.

I'm talking about the real coilovers of course that run about $1000, not the $100 ebay ones.

yeah I have the Skunk 2 kit and they lower you enough that it looks good. But if you are having a show car and want to be able to adjust the height and have the cash to spend then a good set of coilovers wouldnt be bad.

but it always isnt about looks.....handeling is a big factor

if you want looks, then just get some air bags

i would love to get a set of coilovers.......maybe down the road
