Nice pick up. I will be going with coils. But not quite yet. I wish there were more options for the X besides BC.

On the surface it may seem like coilovers make sense money-wise... but in reality its more expensive in the long run...

With springs and shocks/struts, you can replace the struts when they go bad - and its easy to find a pair... with coilovers you have to replace the entire assembly and its not as easy (or as cheap) to find just a pair.

The benefit of coilovers is more the adjustability and performance/customization than cost savings.

Mike makes a valid point you guys. I live on a dirt road with a LOT of bumps, my suspension gets a serious workout AND I put over 12k/year on the car... I couldn't deal with having to buy new coilovers all the time.

Yeah BC's offer shock replacement for $99. One of the reasons why I got them, if I ever blow a shock it would be easily replaceable at a great price. Other companies I'm sure about the availability and cost of their replacement parts.
