Do me a favor? For the rear struts, they have an extended adjuster so you can adjust it through your trunk. Can you see if there is a replacement part number in any documentation that came with them? Mine are bad and I need new ones.

$200 for springs. $900-$2000 for coil overs.

Plus around $200 for install if you can't do it yourself.

The coupe sits so high with the stock ride height... I currently have the same coilovers sitting in my garage waiting to be put on... Can't wait to see the end result.
