Top Speed Coilovers

http://compare.ebay.com/like/230724874299?var=lv&ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar&_lwgsi=y&cbt=y

Planning on getting these coils for my G coupe. Anyone had these and what's the ride comfort like? Also I'm planning to get either 19" or 20" rims.

Either way i would still need a camber kit right?

i've also been told to get sway bars first before coils? why ?

Is there anything else I would need when getting coils?

If you drop an inch or more you may want to get camber kits to save your tires from increased wear. You might want to install the coils first and see what the camber is with the height you want. Then you can decide if you want to pay for a camber kit or pay for tires more often.

Sways are probably the most cost effective suspension mod you can make. There is no reason you have to get sways before coil overs.

You will need an alignment. If you are installing the coils yourself, get a cotter pin set.

What's your budget? Most coilovers under 1500 are junk.

On that budget, just get some springs and a rear camber kit. That should run around 3-400$
