Struts

>>17676734
Both manufacturers make OEM specced struts with similar travel characteristics, meaning both are going to wear prematurely.

If you dont care about potentially wearing out your struts early, and having a stiff ride then Monroe would be my choice.

But coilovers are better in nearly every measurable way.

Wasn't sure about the ride quality of coilovers, aren't they rougher than struts and springs?

Depends. Some manufacturers make basic coilovers with pretty good ride quality. If you invest in some with adjustable dampening you can make them ride however you want. They usually run $700+ though. I run Tein coilovers on my car and they ride fantastic.

a car at that heavy needs to be on bags

What model Teins? Also will I need any camber equipment or adapters to go with them? I'm on about a $700 budget because the install is gonna cost me a few bucks.

You'll have to find your model but it looks like there might be a difference per drivetrain

Same part number. I just googled the number and I'm surprised how much cheaper they are than the strut/spring combo. So will I need anything else or just pop'em in adjust and call it a day after the alignment?

Just pop'em in (sometimes you need to swap over thee top hats) but yougonna want an alignment. And depending on how low you go, you may need a camber kit to correct the camber.

Was thinking maybe an inch and a half maybe inch and 3/4 I'm gonna let my buddy figure that one out because we live in MA and the roads here suck, especially RI
