whats an appropriate drop?, w/konig 17X7 Options

[Malhar95]

my cars currently sitting on konig incident wheels, from online specs i got they're 17X7 with 40 offset.

i cant decide if i should save up and get coil-overs(Megan) or just get some lowering springs. i found megans go cheap for about 150 shipped for 2" drop

im not going to be playing with the setting that much if i do get coil-overs, i would mainly just lower it once suitable for daily driving, and then maybe slam it if theres some serious car meet or i feel bored.


i still cant decide. would love some input and opinion.
im not too worried about the struts blowing because they're from advance and under lifetime warranty lol

and if i do decide on getting springs, is it complicated replacing them? never did anything of such nature.


This is my daily, i drive about 500miles weekly, mostly in downtown for school.

any advice and picture of a dropped 2" would be nice (yes i have checked this thread out already)

From experience I would recommend Coilovers.

If you're running stock shocks (or anything either than GR2s) I would get Coilovers.
If you lower your going to neeed to shocks and one point and possibly new mounts, and the total you will spend will be only a few hundred less than coilovers.
I went the springs/strut route, and would probably go coilovers if I could do it again.

Plus with the coilovers you can get it the exact height you want t to be.
I'd def say coilovers.
