it also depends on what shocks u have... ppl i know say coils are better some say, springs are better it what u like more....me i went with coils puting them on tomarrow

Springs will definitely give you a better ride. If you are bouncing aroung like crazy then you have blown shocks. Buy some Konis and it should get rid of some bounce.

Hey I've bought some coil over after reading your comments on springs or coil overs....i'll let you know how is the ride in some days [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG])))

For sure the ride will be bouncing a little....but for me, that's the price to pay for being lowered.....no???

its not the snow, its the salt that could mess it up... if you read his post carefully he wrote '..and they salt the roads'.

i got coilovers and im very disapointed in them, i dont know if the morons who did the works did somthing wrong but the car has never been the same. on flat ground it feels like im going over speed bumps. i could not go over 20 mph with out my a$$ coming off of the seat and almost hitting the ceiling. im looking in to springs, any info and ill get back at yah..[hr]

Dude, if what you mean by this is that your ride is extremely bouncy ,you might wanna check your shocks... they might be blown which is not a good thing.
