Coilovers?

Anyone using coilover shocks on their front ends,and which ones are you using?I'm running a Volare front with Fatman drop spindles on it,when going over several bumps in row, I tend to bottom out and hit my tranny cross member. Thanks, L8R ZFLASH

The PO installed them so I don't really know,these could just be worn out. That's why I was thinking of the coil overs,it's at the shop now, so I'll look in the A.M.. I was looking at the Gabriel 34057 front heavy duty over load shocks with helping springs. Thanks, L8R ZFLASH

Several bumps tells me it is bad shocks. I am running KYB gas-a-just on mine.
