Or are they basically the same thing? yes, coilover sleeves are adjustable ride height and higher spring rates. Springs are one fixed height and better suited for those who don't know how to setup a strut accordingly. basically....if you are asking these kinds of questions you have 2 options a) lowering springs + kyb gr2/bilstein struts or b) full coilovers (TEIN SS for example) |
