Need your opinion's

Iam looking into buying a Spohn Tubular k member but i was woundering about acouple of things like:

Are coil overs better than coil springs and struts?

Should i stick with the stock steering equipment or should i get the manual rack?

Re: Need your opinion's

depends on what you are doing with teh car.

the coilovers still use the strut, they just put a spring on them. they severly limit your camber/caster adjustment and tire width. I vote pass, and spend the money on koni yellows instead.

if its a drag car, the rack will save weight. on a street car, it can get annoying in parking lots since you have to turn the wheel much further to turn the car.

There are many other things that should get attention long before you should be considering a tubular k-member, if its just the for sake of having it, i would pass all together, much better places to spend money.
