Default Anybody have rear coil overs ?

Im think of getting a set but want to hear from members that have them. Car is not a DD so having a rougher ride is not an issue. My concerns are with traction.

R3D has rear coilovers and he swears by them. I don't think you'll have to worry about a rougher ride, if anything it would be a softer ride. You can go with high spring rates on coilovers and still have a nice ride unlike conventional springs where the higher the rate, the rougher/stiffer the ride usually.

I have coil overs in the rear and don't have any traction issues. Since I changed over to a MM setup I’ve been lovin' it. Handles great at the track.

the coil over in the rear is the best idea evar! it was a bigger improvement than even the PHB. Traction is a non-issue. Ride comfort is enhanced if you pick the right spring rate. Call MM and they'll spec a spring for you that'll be better handling and good riding.
