Coil v/s coil-over
since the next thing the fox is getting will be C/C plates i thought of going ahead and replacing the shocks and struts with the Tokico 5 ways while i am there. right now i Eibach springs but Tokico has a kit that includes coil over conversion. here is where i saw the kit for reference.
with springs without springs are there any real advantages so going to this? is there anything special changes that have to be made? also would it really be worth it to pay the extra plus have to ditch the springs that i already payed for. also, i was reading that you should get C/C plates are specific 90-93 and not the 79-93. Steeda and QA1 are the only two i have seen thus far that offer model specific. does anyone know anything about QA1 products, there prices are better. thanks for the info.

I'm going to look into it more before I go with the fiberglass hood. . . strut hitting glass hood = not pretty.
