Shocks or just go full coilover?

Alright everyone I just got new wheels and tires and well the shocks are gone so I hit bumps and rub on the tires so I'm looking at either getting new shocks or just going ahead to rear coilovers but can't decide. If I can get away with just shocks that would be great because the height looks just about perfect with the eibach springs.
Let me know what you think!

Thanks,
Zach

do rear shocks. That's how I did it. Coils are great for the track and adjustability but just unnecessary in most cases... coils up front are nice though

Alright appreciate it!

Everyone in the other thread I made suggested bilsteins would you suggest those too or something else?

It seems like the majority vote bilsteins so I guess I'll go with them also ha

Next question is which ones do I go with?
I see on lethal performance there are 2 different kinds the regular and the heavy duty but idk which to go with?

Keep in mind coilovers put the entire weight of the car + the engine and 1/2 the weigh of the transmission on the shock towers. Not something I would do without reinforcement.

I would just do stocks and struts. The Bilsteins are an excellent choice
