The guys over at Motive have a pretty cool article on coilover suspensions today. Such a technical subject may sound intimidating, but Bryan Joslin skips all the nitty-gritty on selecting spring rates to explain the general benefits and potential downfalls of a coilover system for enthusiasts.

The article is certainly a good starting point for those looking to improve the ride, handling, and fun-factor in their current rides. One reason to choose coilovers is a more pleasant ride height. Typically, coil overs give three- to four-inches of adjustability in ride height. That adjustability is useful for both show and go. Racers can adjust their cars for individual tracks, and you can add an extra inch or two of clearance once the snow starts flying.
