Mullerized vs Robispec
I have done the searches BUT...I have a few general questions. I do not intend this to be a comparison just information between both setups, what they include and value. Robispec basic, Robispec full spec and Mullerized:
I tried Eibach pro kits with stock struts and it rode worse than stock, and that is saying something....
I would certainly consider the Bilsteins as well...
Criteria:
1. Lower car properly
2. Improve ride quality '03 bone crusher, rough Minnesota roads
3. Handle 2 trackdays a year
4. Make the car neutral or slighty oversteer
5. Hold up in the MN winter, salt and crap, it wrecks wheels everything...
6. Spend $1500 give or take $200.00
Thanks in advance to anyone who replies..
Michael

To improve ride quality pick up some MR bilsteins and add Swift MR springs if you want a slight drop.
The stock 'non MR' shock is stiff, changing just springs can produce all kinds of unwanted issues that that shock.

Not to steal your thread, but I too live in MN and most of my criteria fits yours! My big deal is that I am not so worried about a rough ride as long as it corners like a ****, I do worry about our winters. I wouldn't mind some suggestions on say whether or not coilovers at a price like you desrbied would be just. If I can raise my car in the winter to give me some more ground clearance is it going to fight itself with the stiffness setup more for ideal road conditions i.e. july! Any comments would be great.

Classified Ad for coil-overs I just put my old track/street setup for sale, if you are interested. They are dialed in already, and there is video proof of the performance.

But it won't do anything to help improve ride quality for ya.

Well, your a little short as far as your price point when it comes to a set of Muellerized coilovers. But for $1900.00 you'd be getting one of the nicest ride/handling systems out there.
If you don't want to spend that kind of money, I've heard good things about the KW's with their INOX coatings (good for you salty climate) or the Bilstein PSS9's which won't beat you up to bad in daily driving.
