Making my own coilovers.

This is the first time I've dipped into this thread, but I was kind of wondering why you were going to such extreme measures to design the coilovers. The Respeed stuff works great.

I will also give my recommendation for Bilstein shocks/struts. I've got a used set on the rear of my fb, and they just plain work. I do miss the adjustability of the Illuminas in the rear when I'm on a long trip, but the performance improvement of the Bilsteins more than makes up for the harsh ride.

Good luck with your project(s). I'll be keeping an eye on your progress.
