haha... look at this kid talking about noobs... you have 41 posts and joined two months ago. shut the fuck up. any race car that is worth a damn uses coilovers. nascar, formula 1, GT racing, rally, the list goes on. You don't get away from them until you move to the classes that are closer to stock. If you want to shell out the money for struts when you get coilovers, even sleeved coilovers, you are going to have the same ride quality as you would with springs. If you want to spend more, which you will if you buy a fully adjustable coilover system, you will have endless suspension adjustment and the ability to make your car handle the best it can in any condition.
