well since I will be investing in a c5 soon..I figured I would get me some better coilovers. I now have arospeed coilovers and they are bascially junk. Why I got them..I don't know.

So I was thinking about getting the TEIN basic coilover kit..do you think this is a good choice and should I replace my stock struts with aftermarket struts when I do the install?

Should I spring for the TEIN or would coilovers such as skunk2 or ground control do just as good?

When I see B18C5, I think ITR engine.

When I see C5 on its own, I think C5 Corvette.

BIG difference.

Tein Basics DO come with new shocks. Just getting Ground Controls, Skunk2, or other coilover sleeves will not get you new dampers... they're springs only. The Tein Basic should be a nice setup, but I don't think the shocks are adjustable.
