Coilovers....

what are the advantages of a coilover setup rather than the stock setup? Does it allow you to adjust caster/camber, I know the stock setup only has 1/2 of degree of adjustment, how much adjustment do the coil overs offer?

finally how much do they usally cost, and what are some good vendors...

the coil overs let you adjust the height of the car at each wheel. if you buy camber plates with them you can adjust the front camber. you need a rear camber link to adjust the rear camber. I just picked up the www.k2rd.com kit which comes with KYB AGX shocks, coil overs, front camber plates, and rear camber link for $950.

My personal reasons for going with the coilovers is 1) you change spring rates relatively easily and cheaply (~$100 per pair), and 2) you can corner balance the chassis.
