Default Strut/spring combo

Well, since I found out that my rear struts are blown, I figured I might as well go ahead and replace all of them. Now, I was thinking about getting the bilstein sport ones with the neuspeed springs. Does anyone have this combo, and if so, how is the ride quality? Does anyone have any better suggestions? I don't have a lot to spend, so coilovers aren't really an option.

Thanks!

Well i just went through the whole suspension bit and i just decided to spend another $150-200 and get coilovers. Purems.com is selling Koni coilo0vers ofr under $1,000 right now and for the combo your just listed i think youll still be looking at like 600-750 depending where u can find it. I also know that the Vogtland coilovers arent much over $1,000 also. But if your in a reall tight bind and have to get them then that would be a good ocmbo to roll with.

Hmmm, well what is the quality in ride and lifetime of getting coilovers vs' just a shock spring combo? Also, anyone who's used the vogtland and the koni's, which provide a better ride? I just have to make my decision pretty soon, but if it is worth it to spend $200 extra to get some coilovers, then that's what I'll do, but I don't want to get coilovers just to have them. I want to get what's the most cost efficient and will last the longest.

Thanks for your input!

IMHO, Pony up & get the Vogtlands. There worth it. Koni's are fine also, but a little on the soft side.

Newspeed springs, well, I don't like them, there to short, & to soft. The tires will rub hard under any aggressive turning.
