What is better rear coil over or an after market reg. mount shock? is the coil over worth the big bucks they cost? i have coil overs for the front that i havent installed but im wondering if i should buy coil overs or reg. shock for the rear, Im just wondering what difference would i see if i go coil over in the rear over non rear coil over, and how much of a difference would it be? thanks

Coil overs offer you weight savings and better adjustability.

easier ride ajustments, easier spring rates you can swap out as easy as changing shocks,easyier height ajustments,and a small weight loss ,fist purchace is a little more but a brand, new pair of coil over springs any rate are like 50 bucks.better placed postion for your springs to be.DOWN SIDE ! id recommend reinforcing the shock mounts as do to it was not designed for this from factory, and first investment is more expensive and if you dont plan on changing any thing up later its not cost effective and thats it i tkink on this for my oppion
