No I don't really have a prob with spelling but when your typing kind of fast we are all human and make mistakes SO BITE ME. I really think that was pretty petty to point out. I could have done the same with your messages but again I know nobody is perfect so I don't go to that level. But Thanks!! You are correct in a sence that I have not tried all coilover set ups but I have had more than one bad experience. off the top of my head I can remember at least six. When I finally decided to go to racing school they told me my prob was running a coil-over set up in the first place. That's when I learned the pros and cons of different and weight distribution set ups. Sorry maybe you did not have a big wheel it's that plastic tri-cycle thing with the big wheel in the front you see kids riding hope that helps!? Again you may see some still do coil over set ups but for the most part almost everyone runs springs with an ajustable Allen key tensor. I can tell you from experience that almost all the succesfull racers do have a spring set up. So like I said no hard feeling but I've had probs in the past and I have better result with spring, I've been taught to run springs and have first hand knowledge of the great result a spring setup yields. So sorry if I feel that way. Can you fault me for not wanting to let someone else go through the same thing I did if I can be of some help? Again unless they come up with a bad ass coil over set up I'm prob never going to run coil overs again!
I think that being pretty open minded about the issue!

It was also kind of petty of you to insult everyone that disagreed with you, thanks. I never disagreed with the fact that springs and dampers can be great set ups (otherwise I wouldn't run a spring/damper set up), but your believe that all coilover systems are bad is misplaced. Many successful amateur drivers and teams in SCCA use a range of good coilovers, from Ground Control + revalved KONIs to Tein RA/REs to Advance Design to Moton triple adjustables, I am sure all of their collective experience can speak for coilovers... I believe your main gripe with coilovers is that they're too stiff, but like I said you can choose to run softer springs, the fact that some shocks are threaded for height adjustment has nothing to do with how stiff they are, ie: you can have overly stiff spring+damper set up or a relatively softer coilover set up, and that's the beauty of coilovers, you get unlimited adjustablity for your liking.
With that said I am not a big fan of alot of these cheaper coilovers out there... their dampers are not up to par, often they are twin tube dampers which are in design inferior to monotube you see in better coilovers. Their damping is also under par... like I said, there's a range from poor ---> good coilovers, you just want to be in that good range (of course one that fits your purposes, if its a daily driver, you sure don't want a track-oriented set up)... you mentioned that you're using Neuspeed springs and a damper kit, what damper kit are you using?
