Coil Over Bilstein Struts & Springs

[SilverEcstasy]

I'm starting to worry since that SC/T body kit is going to give me no clearance what so ever for putting a jack under the car, I was considering getting Coil overs but i've never really dealt with these before.

Can you actually raise or lower the ride height to what you please? I was looking at these on GAUpgrades and was wondering if anyone had tried them, if they were work any money, and if you could do what I asked, about lowering and raising, and how hard it would be?

Also, Mantapart seems to have alot of performance replacement stuff for our suspensions. Yet I very rarely see their name pop up in Suspension convos. Does anyone have any comments? I'm just curious and would like to learn more.

How do you expect to adjust the coilovers if you can't get a jack under the car??

Theres a strut thread about mantapart's rebuilt struts that has some info in it, let me know if you cant find it and I'll look it up... Some tlak about the coilovers there too

I wouldn't trust mantapart anyway. No one I know of has any of their parts, and from what I've heard it's some two-bit operation out of some guys garage. If you're worried about getting a jack under the car, do what I did. Buy an 8ft peice of 2"X12" wood, cut it into 4 2ft sections with a 45degree angle on one end, and drive the car onto them. It lifts the car just the right height to get a jack under the front airdam.

Besides, most coilovers don't let you raise the car above the stock ride height anyhow. They start at stock height and let you lower the car up to 3-4 inches.

Floor jacks are pushin it, you should be alright with a regular little hydraulic jack..

Mantapart's products are good from what I hear, its just their customer service is a little lacking. Word on the street is that if you order from there, order COD so your money isn't tied up while they are making your product. They do respond to emails pretty fast.
