that's exactly what im dealing with now. got some espelirs because i thought they would suite me. .

now im looking at purchasing a higher end coilover setup. .i could have saved some cash and went straight to coilovers.

winson, stock shocks.
im gonna be future-you, i just got espelirs last weekend

i was going to take that route. espilers w/ stock shocks.

trust me, get coils and you wont regret it at all. its tough on the wallet now but it saves you later on
hmm...but if you like the drop and dont need all the adjustments,
isnt it still cheaper to just upgrade the shocks later on?

i guess you can say that also. .but you really only have a few upgrade options. and i dont blame it too much on the shocks.

and even then, they're still too low. you would need some geometry correcting hardware (like the j's rca's and steering ridge spacer)

liking the drop is one thing.

enjoying the ride comfort is another. plus i have that extra piece of mind that i wont risk having blown shocks on aftermarket springs and having to go through the hassle of getting new shocks and reinstalling them. koni shocks will run you about $700 already. espelirs will run about $200 so $900 total. pss9's are about $1300.

i guess its just personal preference. i dont mind spending the extra $$$ to know i paid for quality and i can adjust the height and dampening whenever i want too.

i've had kgmm springs, buddy club racing spec coils, & now on my new S i'm running pss9's...i can say that the pss9's are amazing (for the $ & compared to my past experiences) & worth every penny

My Bilstein PSS9's are way better than my old stock+Eibach suspension.
