There are a couple of companies offering coil overs now. GC is the 1st I know of. But there are a few more now. Of course they are going to be noisy and harsh. You are trying to turn it into a race car.
Subframe bolts in but you have to have the 210mm differential and the rear cover to bolt it in. Otherwise it is a drop in.. Done it quite a few times.
It is not any stiffer from a handling perspective that I can tell. It has a tube in front. But the rest is pretty much the same. I am going back to a standard one for my new differential. I am just going to triagle the hell out of it and box it in for stiffness and strength.

Your bump steer is bad. I promise. If you adjusted the a single arm and not the others in length and dropped the car it is going crazy.
I have done a lot of homework on this and all you have to do is go check it. If you are driving around town and doing normal stuff it is not bad but if you are running the suspension through the ringer then it is crazy high bump.
