is there a Best coilover to use?
as we get a larger base of those that have performed the swap it seems like there should be 'some' discussion of which seem to work the best. I know from checking out what's available that the spring and dampening rates can vary quite a bit between brands and with some you can choose from different spring rate setups when you order.
Certainly adjustability vs not would seem to be a no brainer, but from motorcycles I know that even cheap suspension can have adjustability that doesn't really change much with adjustments.
Someone (youtube biz person) needs to find 3 or 4 different setups and get them together for a test.
Maybe some digging to find who/where these shocks are coming from to help with QC concerns.

Most brands are somewhat the same, but what you want to find is a system that has dampening adjustability, ride height adjustments, included sway bars kits, good price and a good reputation..!
My couple of cents!
