I've never ordered from Jeg's. Summit Racing is awesome though.

I'm more confident with the shock/strut/spring combination. I've never dealt with coilovers before.
In my mind, a shock/strut/spring combination seems more robust than coilovers.
Ahh.. to me they are essentially the same. Coil over just has a smaller outside diameter spring but typically similar rate. And the perch the spring rides on is adjustable for height. . I was just curious. I do like eibachs springs they actually mad the springs for the coil over setup that on my conquest.
That interesting to know.
For the Camaro?
Jegs is good too, similar shipping times and pricing.
Yup! Mainly because I need to replace the body bushings, and the GW subframe connectors come with the rear two. They (GW) then sell a kit of just the remaining four bushings instead of buying all six. I might as well just do SFCs at the same time.
V nice, gonna be scraping all often the place lol 
I don't scrap but if I put it in the alley behind the house somebody will take it.V nice, gonna be scraping all often the place lol
Hopefully by June. I've noticed as the car has gotten more spirited, the lack of handing has become more apparent.
FWIW, my brother made the same decision for a similar reason on his Mustang. Yes coilovers are better, but single-adjustable Koni Yellows and the H&R Race springs is also a very good combination. He doesn't need all the adjustability - with the very real potential to screw the settings up (and it would have been even more work for me anyway). That all said, we might very well go with coilovers on his Buick, but who knows - given it gets driven in winter, that may not be ideal...
I think he's at the point now where he can probably bring the Konis up off full soft - been almost a year and good few hundred miles now, so he should be good and broken in.
Yeah. I don't really like to have to adjust things more than once or twice. I like to get it dialed in and leave it there FOREVER.
On my Cobalt, I adjusted the dampening settings twice. Although I only had the KONI's on it for 8 months. They were the insert style dampners in front and it seemed like they never held alignment because there was always a little movement between the insert and the strut housing.
Thankfully the KONI's for the Cruze are struts and not inserts.

Good choice.
That's what I switched to as well as the springs. The lasted for 7 years until the car was totaled.
UPDATE: To complete my handling upgrade I purchased a Front Stabilizer Bar, Rear Stabilizer Bar, and Stabilizer Links from Whiteline Performance today. The front bar and links were in stock. The rear bar was a "Pre-order" item, expected to ship next week.
