    Definantly don't doubt you there...I would prefer linear springs...but when I was first looking into suspension comfort and longetivety were of more importance at the time.

    I don't really know where you substantiate your comment on KYB...I have to admit my experience with Tokico has been quite average...but my KYB shocks have been great...it would be good to independantly adjust the compression / rebound but honestly...i barely drive my car hard and its used on the street...Not really too fussed.

    A mate has KYB Coilovers with 5Zigen springs and another mate has KYB Shocks with linear springs and both are VERY VERY strong performers...his coilovers have done at least 40,000 and would have to be sporting rates no less than 10kg/mm. Which is already on the border line of what Koni Yellows are valved for.

    Also as said many of times...if you were serious about FWD handling buy a set of genuine BC/Fightex/Zeal coilovers coupled with good swaybars...and call it a day NO Spring/Damper combo will match to a proper Coilover setup that is specifically engineered for performance and reliability.

    LOL at dick waving...i wasn't the one who bought emotion into it, remember?

    I apolgize for the rushed typing but I am in the middle of removing my intake manifold lol
