That is the question.....
Well i replaced the cut fucked springs on my car with some good after market springs and now my rear struts are knocking,iam guessing that due to the old cut spring not alowing the struts to use the complete travel of the strut that they are rooted as the new springs actually needed a spring compresser to install unlike the cut ones,
so i want a nice ride but do i buy new struts as coilovers are a good price,but what is the ride quality like on the average coilover?????
P.s checked my power steer res today and noticed the level being low and black fluid,can you use the regular transmission/power steer fluid?
And is there a easy way to flush the system out.......

Coil overs all the way. I had stock shocks with RSR lowering springs. The body roll was rediculous, however the ride was soft.
Put my Tein Type HA in. Stiffer ride, if the road is a bit bumpy I can get air off my seat, body roll is gone, handles so much better and brakes better. _________________
there were some bilstein shocks for sale on the forum, shocks only..would be perfect if you like your cars height with your new springs and if you like the stiffness/ride of them... _________________

Aristos love coilovers, they crave them almost more than any other car due to their 4wd stance which makes them sad pandas. They handle like a fat panda without them too. Get them asap.
