Coilovers

Anyone ever heard of Blackworks racing coilovers? Are they any good?

Don't know about Blackworks but there are a bunch of people who relabel cheap Chinese coil overs.

IMO, i think you should stick to well known company such as: Ksports, Tein, and JIC Magic. I have jics which you know. and i fucking love the ride. its really stiff

The other reliable option is to install lowering springs and stiffer shocks. I went with Vogtlands and Tokico blues and got almost 2 inches of drop without messing up the character of the ride too much. It handles much better but still rides smoothly. Running with 215/17/50's, would need to roll the fenders to go much bigger. When these tires wear out I'll probably go wider, either 235/45/17 or 235/40/18 (the current rims aren't tough enough anyway...already bent two of them...they need more support at the lip.)

Just got done installing new rear struts and springs. What a PITA!!!

Yeah Chubb, u know I would love some coilovers, especially since I have 19's to mount, and we both want to go in the same direction with our cars, lol............I may end up going with the Tokico and Megan springs, but If I can find a Summer job pretty soon, I may hold out for BC coilovers
