Post Tight or Loose?!?!

btw that title was to catch your attention you dirty minded dog!!!

girls see how guys can act to this kind of topic???

Anyways my real question is, whats the difference between sleeved versus threaded coilovers, I know that the threaded comes with shocks, but what is the real difference?!?!? Because im thinking about saving some money and getting the Ground Control coilovers...sooner or later, once i get the money...any input??? Dont worry anyone who posted a reply to this topic...I wont think your perverted! :P

you answered your own question. threaded comes with shocks. sleeves are just the adjustable springs. if you're conserving money, go with GC.

oh yeah, by the way, about the coilovers..
imo if you wanna save money, just go with springs.. ie. comptech or eiback...
i was thinking of getting coils for my 1st gen but balked at them and got springs instead...
sleeves give you the harshest ride out of all three choices... and from what i've heard from some ppl.. more headaches.. but then again that's they're own opinion...

Things end too early when it's too tight?

I need it loose due to my sheer girth I have no choice. You know that you will get no more responses to your question, right?
