I'm saying I LOVE my ride quality with EVO coils.
Like mentioned above ride quality is subjective.

I thought they were firm. Dunno maybe i expected a super plush ride, but that was not the case.
nothing else was changed, same shocks, same CA's, steering, etc. overall i feel the RK's take bumps a little firmer but overall a softer coil.
FWIW RK has said their coil rates which are close to stock. EVO has never released their rates.

I agree i preferred the rk ride over the evo plush but at the time i had them the rk were very short and the evo were among the longer options out there wich was good for a longer travel setup.

First run were shorter.

Latest RK coils are about the same length

+1 on metalcloak
 
I don't have a ton of miles on mine but the whole process from purchase to install with metalcloak was great. I put their 1.5 4 dr kit on and I've gotten a ton of compliments on it. Look at their 2.5 -3.5 kits and give them a call! There pretty good on the phone and the quality is there as far as components go. Also worth a mention that they seem to have the most complete kits for your $ when compared to RK and AEV

I am definitely leaning towards metal cloak, just not sure exactly which one. What is everyone's thoughts on shocks?

Also, regearing. Is it necessary?? Again, we have a 16 jku sport.

Agree!!! Mine handles soooo damn good. I find myself going too fast around corner to try and make it break loose..... Haven't yet! Soaks up bumps so smooth!

Also, Read the MC threads. Most state go 3.5" to get that xtra center clearance.
