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 |

having had both on several types of different cars, springs ride wayyyy better. ive had 1" to 4 inch drops and while a bigger drop looks awesome, its a pain in the ass, i currently have coilovers on my Acura TL.
ive also had springs while changing the shocks and some without. usually the rule of thumb when getting springs is if the dropp is going to be close to 2 or more inches, get new shoccks, anything less than 1.5 inch drop, you dont have to change, as its not that much of a change to the suspension. that being said, i have tein s-techs ready to go on my GT4, mainly because it is cheaper, i dont want a huge drop on it, i want it to ride similar and i dont want to weld **** on the car. im not changing the shocks out as they are still very good and the drop is only about 1.5 inches. thats my opinion, do what you want, maybe this will help sway your decision. |
