Should boost yor mileage above 31mpg average. You think?

Took her for a ride to wally world - nice and smooth! A good, firm, not bouncy ride! Minimal body roll even on turns (so far - had the family in the car,and I don't like to beat on my cars but I'll destroy an on ramp here and there
)
So far, they do look and feel legit. And cheap - well, compared to brand name coilovers, YES
This setup cost about $370 (after buying bolts @ Menard's ), or $92.50/ wheel.
The cheap yonaka set was $499 I won't mention any popular brand name's prices, but think double the yonakas. Triple if you want adjustable dampening. The only limit is your wallet. ..
Even compared to the minion's setup $100 shocks/struts (4) plus a free ($50 value) ebay lowering adjustable coil spring kit totaled $150 or $37.50/wheel, I think I did pretty good.
I'm totally ok with just under $100/wheel for an actual coilover set that I didn't have to "scab" together. We'll see how time treats these babies. .
As far as getting the mileage up, I've got to start talking Skiddy to work and get some highway miles into my averages. She's mostly running short trips lately. I'm going to work on that as well...
Thanks,
Victor
