Coil-overs are for the enthusiast.
Set up carefully with the right spring rate they can be fine (firm) on the road.
Go too stiff and they will be a pig.

They can be sorted well.

Coilovers need to be cleaned on a regular basis, so I'd have thought it was a bad idea to cover.

That reminds me I must clean mine at the weekend and re-oil the threads

I was once about to buy a set...but after doing some reading and searching here decided against it....

Though do a search, and you will see what i mean...everyone seems to have problems with them, unless you know what you are doing ofcourse...
