Maybe. But the beauty of coilovers is their adjustability. And in the case of Feals, they are very affordable and easily adjustable.

Regardless of what you do to the suspension, it will cost you money. Might as well give yourself the most flexibility to set it up for the street, for the track, lower it if you want or not. That's the benefit of coilovers. Pure adjustability.

Koni Active shocks are pretty popular. They were unavailable when I was shopping so I have Koni Yellows. I have RoW M030 springs too but I think the Konis would work with other springs.

Does anyone on here have experience with the Feals on a 987?
