   imo opinion mate the shocks are fine for a fast road setup i just think you would be wasting you money going for the coilovers unless you were going to lower your car more than 60mm???

   the lower you go the worse the handling get, and it becomes very harsh as your bottoming out alot, if u want it for show yes get coilovers n remove the helper(mot man wont like it tho), oh and gmax dont have helpers.
   
   you get what you pay for with suspension really, gmax arnt cheap cos good lol.
