h&r: cups v. coilovers?

[abatzis2@hotmail.com (Michael Abatzis)]

i'll start with the question first:
what's the difference in terms of ride between h&r cup kit and the 
coilovers. i loved the ride and feel of cathy's coilovers, but i really 
don't need the "coilover" part; i just want to duplicate the handling 
characteristics, if possible.


why i want to know:

my front end has become very bouncy on the pass side--feels like a blown 
shock.  i'm thinking of upgrading, as i'm not happy with the setup on there 
now.  i'm currently running shine springs/rear bar with bilstein sports. my 
old car had the same setup, but with boge progas.  current setup doesn't 
feel nearly as precise, and for some reason seems mushier. even my 
passengers notice (they call it "comfortable" though).
rather than swap old parts again, i figure it's time to upgrade. there's 
probably other stuff that needs replacing there anyway; i might as well 
replace tie rod ends, ball joints, and strut bearings (where can i get those 
bug pack ones?) while i'm in there. anything else? the a-arms have poly 
bushings that appear to be in good shape. thanks,
