Coilover time

ABC pump took a big dump today... Zero pressure, car is on the ground. Time to go with coilovers so we can road trip this car without having to worry about needing a tow for the suspension ever again. I keep telling the Mrs we should have gotten a Corvette. These old ones are a headache, but damn, when is runs, it runs good. New ABC pump is $1,300 and there are still plenty of more parts to fail. Strutmaster kit is $1593.31 shipped and never have to worry about it again. I have a neighbor with an SL.. He had a shop put a Strutmaster kit on his and swears by it.

Who's done a Strutmaster kit in the driveway??

What about the kit from Ceika? Does anyone have that kit on their car? I'm think Strutmaster is going to be the better option since it's what they do..

Strutmaster's are extremely over priced and have zero adjustability compared to the competition. Go with BC or Ceika but just remember, none of these options come with sway bars or power steering conversions.
