SAS question: coilovers??

[showtimecustoms]

Hello everyone, im doing a SAS on a '00 S10 Zr2, so far ive got a dynatrac axle coming complete with big breaks, arb and 5.13, high steer/ tie rod assembly, all the good stuff.... ive decided to go with a 4 link set up or a 3 link with a hard pan bar, any advice on this? but my biggest question is should i do a coilover kit or just coils with shocks???? i see pros and cons to both but want some advice.... until i decide on this i cant go any further as i still need to fab or order brackets, so any advice would be greatly appreciated....thanks for the help

if you have the money go coilovers, but be prepared to tune them and change springs, valving etc, to get the best performance out of them.

A good shop will be able to get it in the ballpark for valving and spring rate but you'll still need to work on them and that will add more $ than just buying them.

hey thanks... ive done alot of reading today im going to go with coilovers, now my next question is 3 link with hard pan bar or a 4 link, and if 4 link should i place 2 links per frame rail or 1 on rail and fab a mouting point in the center for each side link to be mounted??? the only issue i can for see with the 4 link is clearance from the front driveshaft but i dont think thats an issue./...
any words of wisdom??
