springs vs coilovers: I need help Options

[Greyform]

so I'm trying to decide on whether I should go with springs or full coilovers when I lower my celi, cause I've heard many point of views from both sides and I wanted your guys opinions. at the moment im leaning more towards springs because of the price factor as I only work part time so I don't make that much money but id like to see some opinions

also not sure how much to lower it with my setup, ive got 17" rims, invader rear and sides, with a varis airising Ii front. anyway id like to know what you guys think thx

for such a low front bumper, i'd go with coilovers. if you just get the springs, your shocks are likely to blow sooner than usual and in the end you might as well get coilovers.

Just to add to the low bumper comment...I've got a Veilside front bumper and Tein springs (lowers 1.4") on 18" rims. I scrape my bumper on every driveway I go into or out of. Having to turn the car at an angle to avoid it, really annoying. Having gone down the cheaper route I'd advise you get some really good struts (koni, billstien, etc) or get coilovers. Don't settle just because its cheaper.
