Coil overs

I am a little concerned about putting coil overs on the rear and would welcome any comments.

The reason I have concerns is by installing coilovers you are using the shock mount as a spring and shock mount, but the shock mount was never designed to carry the weight of the car!

Good point you could possibly die and kill others.

Bwahahahah! :

Anyways...the coils in the rear aren't "true coilovers" as the shock and spring are separate from each other just like the stock setup
