overall, yeah. but for the money, there isn't a whole lot of benefit unless you like the adjustability of coilovers.

heres our two door with regular shocks and coils and it flexes just as well. the only bad thing is that it's not height adjustable.

I always wondered about coilovers on a daily driver? Do they last as long?

One thing to consider is if you live in the rust belt where they use salt, the chemicals may ruin the shocks and make them non-adjustable from corrosion. Just something to consider.

Man that's a shame. I had a mustang that I ran coilovers on and it squeaked also. I don't think I could live with that again.

I would love coilovers but I can't justify spending that much money for them.... The price is ridiculous! I'm gonna get the fox dual res shocks
