Help, wanted rear coilovers, Broster style, been told there piss poor and rust quick and was told to get dampers and coilsprings as the better option so was thinking ok keeping my -60mm coil springs and getting some Koni yellows for the rear.

How much of a difference would i notice? as at the moment iv been told the reason for alot of rattleing and noise from the rear bis because i have little or no suspension with the rear Gmax setup.

Ive had koni yellows on mine for four years and only replaced them about 3 months ago (well the fronts only) I found they are a little harsh but nothing compared to my mates set ups. Decent quality and well built IMO
