it seems that coilover suspension is now available at more competiatve prices than it used to be.
is it still overkill for a road car if you can get a set for £300?
are they more invovled to fit? welding on brackets etc..??
are they tricky to setup?
with prices generally coming down and "normal" suspension can be had for £130 inc springs..is there a benefit?

Probably debatable whether there is any advantage on a road car when you can get much better than original leaf springs made up. And it's a hell of a lot less effort than back-halfing a car.
Or do you mean 2.25" springs on adjustable platforms on your front struts? In that case I find it is worth it if you are lowering the car a lot or using different front suspension. You get to play with the spring rate and length.

have em on my rocco. However the ONLY reason i got them was to fine tweek the ride height so i could get it sat how i wanted.
No different than fitting new shocks/springs, they bolt up the same.
