Looks like he means what size coils in the front will match these coilovers in the back. I have this coilover setup front and back and about as low as you can go with these rear EVO bolt on coilovers is 3 inches.

I have the coilovers adjusted all the way up to the lowest setting and I am a light 2 door and I have about 3.5im front plus a small day star spaced so I saw about 4in of lift in the rear but I have no wright back there so someone with a bumper will probably be able to adjust right to the correct size

I guess you're the keyboard warrior around here. Yeah i know what a coilover is. The reason i asked is because of the compressed and extended lengths of the coilovers. After i asked i went online and looked at the 12inch coilover compressed and extended lengths to see if it would work on my current set up. Any other smart replies you feel the need to say now?
Thank you for not being a smart ass and answering the question.
From my current setup with the vehicle on its own weight im at 22inch from eye to eye on, so i would only have about 2 inches of uptravel with 12inch coilovers unless i bumped up to a bigger lift.

Sorry, they way you phrased the questions it looked like you were going to run standard coils plus the coil overs. Coil overs generally require new mounts so comprssed and extended lengths really are meaningless until you decide where you are going to run the mounts.

yep, this is true with coilovers as the mounts are different. Not sure why you don't think you are getting enough flex or stuff with that rear EVO setup. I get a huge amount front and back with mine and really don't need any more.

Now we are on the same page. I still have a lot of research to do to run coilovers but ultimately it would be nice and having a set like this for $600 only makes me want to do it sooner. Im trying to look at brackets for the lower mounts but im not seeing anything that will be lower than the current stock ones. I see there are numerous mounting options for the upper bracket but if i could use a mounting bracket that goes over the stock one then it would help save on cost a bit due to the fabrication skills in which i don't have.

If you are wanting to go the coil over route I would buy these and put them up front and leave the rear on conventional coils. $600 for a set of kings is a pretty good deal.

Thats true, I didnt even think about that. I am getting a work bonus here soon but of course ill need to run it by the boss first.
