I dunno what it is about coilovers, but I had them before on my ricer and they sucked, then again, they were a crappy brand, so that could have been it too. I just didn't enjoy the ride as much as standard springs. In any case, if I end up doing that kit from MM w/ the k-member for $1,800+, I still need struts / shocks, and rear springs, so thats putting me near $3k....... I was hoping to stay under or close to $1k for now. I'm wondering if I can just do the Bilsteins all around, get FRPP springs and CC plates, call it a day. Then when it comes time to drop in the 5.4, do the K-member, control arms, and front coilover conversion at that time, then hold onto the front springs in case I end up not liking the coilovers, or if I do like them, sell the front springs by themselves. Oh wow, it's really hard to think about all this without thinking about losing / wasting money. It's funny how one mod leads to another requirement. I guess its better to discuss it first then jumping into it and going the wrong route.
