    Do you really want to be that guy who puts these on and finds out the valving is garbage?

    You'll probably find your worn out bilsteins ride better/the same.

    Ask bio about cheap coilovers.

    I mean realistically, if it came down to it, I guess one could buy different springs on Summit or something.

    But then the struts will not be right for the spring rates.

    True. Well I suppose if someone else would like to take a stab at these, then we would all be curious. I doubt I'm going to be the one to do it.

    bet if you buy them, revalve them, and put better springs on them you'd have a better set of coilovers than you would have, for cheaper, than if you'd buy them from araut/HT/held.

    This, springs are cheap, the revalving will probably be around $200 a set. Koni does rebuilds/revalving for $180 +parts

    and i bet after being revalved you can probably get top of the line valving done and they'd be an awesome set of struts.

    typically struts can be valved to handle a range of spring rates (say 6k-10k).

    This is so tempting. That's ideally what I would like to do. Springs are cheap enough.

    Also, after looking at the thread below this one regarding coilovers, it looks like Drunkie suggests 200-300# springs. So, would new springs on these be necessary since they are 250#?
