Shock?
I have searched the subject but could not find a satisfactory answer. Up front I got the adjustable preload shocks by Bilstein and I have had them for 3 months or so. They work great but I'm unsure whether I want OME med or coilovers because the stock coils are kind-of weak. So my first question is that, are the high end coil overs THAT much better or would better springs do fine?
My second question is: The rear is stock but I'm going to a 2-3" coil. I had a chance to measure the shock length a while ago. It really seems as though the shocks could be 2" longer even with the stock springs. So with 2" taller coils it would follow that a 4" longer shock could be used. I believe that the OME shock is very close to the stock length, which I find quite odd from my own personal research. I do realize the shocks are the limiting factor keeping the springs in place, but does anyone have any experience with going to a longer shock? Pertaining to the type of shock, my #1 chioce would be the mx-6 monotube or a bilstein 5100, are there any other high quality shocks for a decent price that I should look into?
Thanks for any insight,
Nate
