Coilovers?
Well i have koni yellows and H&R springs. Over the last 5000 miles i have noticed the cars handling feeling like it was getting sloppy. They have about 50,000 miles on them all of the miles are track and canyons.
I was wondering what you guys would suggest going with coilovers or just shocks and springs? I am not worried about price that much. I mostly do canyon runs and afew track days.
ohhh btw its going on a 93 touring

Have you simply adjusted the Konis a hair stiffer? Are any of the Konis blown?
If you have been happy with the handling and ride height aspects of the car until recently, I would look a little more carefully at your setup before spending $1300+ on decent coilovers.
Several of the rear suspension bushings are likely to be toast at that mileage with frequent hard cornering. Do some investigative work before dropping the cash....

I don't see a reason too, unless they are actually showing metal fatigue. H&R is very high quality, but it can happen. I guess it's up to you but I doubt there's a problem with them.
