yeh coilovers are very good!! especially if u have a valver engine in ur nova. the handling will be alot beter with them aposed to standard shocks or uprated items. plus it gives u the advantage to lower the car to the ride height u want!! and that cant be bad!!

depends what you want them for!!

i went from a gmax kit with shocks+springs to spax rsx coilovers. car handles much beter now. also far more ajustable

like i said it depends what you want them for.

no point if your not gonna use them to there full potencial.

with decent grip (iv got 195/45 eagle f1s ) you can out perform most cars on handling.
