dropping my sunfire question!
Monday, May 30, 2005 3:17 PM
I know this question may be annoying to some of you, but I just really need to know. I want to drop my '02 Sunfire using coilovers. I just need to know exactly what I need to buy and want I need to do to it. I was thinking of the RK sport coilovers. With these, they just slip over the stock struts, right? So, to do this mod, is that the only thing I need to buy is the coilover kit from RK sport or is there something else that I need to buy for installation?

rksport coilovers are complete coilovers, not "sleeves" so the strut is built right in....

they'll basically bolt right up alot easiar than the konis would

nope you need struts, the on the RKSport coil overs, but the Pro-Street Coil-Overs are set up all the way. heres a link

this kit does have the advantage of being assembled, Gravana has a similar set up that I have heard good things about. I don't know if either set has adjustable struts or not.

gravanas are adjustble height and suspension travel...

also the strut is adjustable.


the gravana is a more adjustable setup all around, although the price is low in my view, you def get more than you pay for.

the pro streets are the older version of the B+G coilovers

the gravana ones are, or are VERY similar to the new line of B+G coilovers as bg has updated their entire line.
