I suppose the answer to that question is I don't have the money or the need/desire to go full-out coil-over suspension. Auto-x is a hobby, and I have more important things to spend money on than $2K on suspension (hint... what is the biggest thing a CX lacks? )

I'm looking at something in the $400-$700 range that gives me a decent drop (I have about 3" wheelgap, and I want to kill that) and gives me a firmer suspension for an occasional auto-x, but still suitable for daily driving.

At tirerack.com they have this set that's right in my price range, I'm just curious as to what specifically people run as far as spring/strut or coil-over sleeves/strut combinations.
