Cool 3rd Gen Frt suspension

I'm looking into replacing my front Performance Products coils and AllPro spacers with something a little better.

What does everybody think is a good product for the money?

I would like the adjustable coil overs, but I don't know if I want to put that kind of cash down....

From what i've heard you definitely can't go wrong with the Sway-A-Way Coilovers (Forgot what they're called, I think they're called Race-Runners). From what I've read those seem to be the best, and I know that if i had a 3rd Gen (I'm hoping I'll have one within 6 months ) I'd put down the cash for the Sway-A-Ways.

Doetsch Tech Coil Overs

I just found some Doetsch Tech Coil overs on following site

http://www.wheelersoffroad.com/doetschtoy.htm

They have them listed for $555. All Pro is selling the same 2.5" Doetsch Tech coil overs for about 630, and the retail on these from Doetsch Tech is about 660. Even though the stated lift is 2.5", I relly leaning this way due to the quality of these rebuildable units and the price.

I have personally heard good feedback on Doetsch Tech's in general (they are pretty popular here in San Diego, since this is where they are made) but I don't know anybody who has tried their coil-over setup. Wheeler's has been selling them for a couple of years now so I take it they like them and I think they seem to be a pretty good place to do business with as well.

I would consider these as well if I were looking for something in that price range.

Honestly, I carry the Kings, and they are a great shock...but are they worth the almost $200 more??

For the price the Doetsch Tech's seem pretty good.
They are rebuildable,
They are adjustable,
They can be revalved for a stiffer ride,
They come from a reputabe company,
They are the cheapest adjustable coil overs out there.....

Seems like a win-win deal to me.
Now If I can just get them in before next weekend's run....
