Do they have grease fittings because the sways are bearing supported or are they nylon?

It does, im starting to think twice about getting coilovers. Dont want it much stiffer than this.

They come with 2 little grease packets to lube the nylon that fits around the bar, and then cover it with the metal bracket and mount it to the car. No bearings.

The big thing I want coilovers for is to keep the car from nosediving so hard under braking. My car's really nice and flat side to side while pushing through a corner, but when I nail the brakes in a straight line braking zone the car porpoises pretty bad afterwards, which makes it hard to get the car "settled" for the turn-in. I can compensate by easing off the brakes a little slower, but I shouldn't have to :P

Haven't experienced that since I don't really brake much sliding through a turn but I can see your point. Which brand are you looking at?

I'm probably going to try Stance's GR+ (or whatever they renamed them to), they seem like a pretty good deal on features/price for what I want. If I had unlimited funds I'd probably do JRZ

. I need to hit up Spohn about his longer-term impressions, he's running those same Stance units.
