- Does anybody know how good the Cattman coilovers are? (Cattmanperformance.com - or use the link from here.) The front components come with adjustable camber plates. Price is $1500. I'm ordering the first of my suspension pieces within the next few days and I'm debating between those coilovers or H+R Springs/Koni shocks.
- Also, are Koni rear shocks adjustable for us? Their website (Koni.com) gave me the impression that only the fronts are.
- Lastly, what strut tower braces are the best, or does it even matter for that application? Cattman had some at a reasonable price, but compared to Stillen's much higher prices, I'm wondering about quality now.
Thanks! ;-)

Cattman coilovers are generally regarded as "the best" but I have no idea how good they are in comparison to H&Rs/Konis. You can pick your own spring rates (stiffness) with the Cattman COs, so obviously they're ideal for a weekend racer that needs very stiff springs. I can't comment on how those stiff springs would feel on a typical road, though (but I imagine they'd be harsh to some degree).

Rear Konis are adjustable, but you have to remove them from the car to do so. Don't plan on adjusting them very often. Pretty much it's an adjust the first time, then forget it -type deal.

The Cattman/Courtesy/Stillen FSTBs are all the same type (non-triangulating). None are better than the others in terms of performance - all the same. The Stillen one looks far more "trick" than the others, justifying the higher price to some, I guess.
