Well, I now you can get gen1's now for around $1200. I would think they'd be a little higher, probably around $1600?

Sorry for the ignorance. Coilovers replace the whole suspension right?? so no need to buy new struts???

Generally a coilover has a stiffer spring rate than most springs out there, the height is adjustable and the dampening/rebound force can be adjusted...

So you can pretty much pick the height you want to be lowered to, how hard the struts are (tunable!) and handle REALLY well!

The package includes:

Adjustable Dampers (aka struts), Springs, wrenches to adjust the ride height, adjustment "nut" to adjust the force of the dampers but no mounts... you have to use the stock ones =[

I almost forgot, the coilovers come with 2 sheets of STICKERS!!

you unlock the bottom "spring seat" and turn it UP or DOWN ... the car needs to be lifted to do it
