Re: Lowering springs (coilovers)

Depends on what springs you pick- the spring rate, what dampers your pair them with, and how thick your tires are.

If your pick super stiff springs and have a huge drop, you keep your stock struts, and you have low profile tires... your ride is going to be horrible.

If you pick up adjustable coilovers, you got the best of everything- adjust them all you want to dial in that perfect feeling. Find some used ones to save some money- make sure they have less then 10k on them and they are practically brand new.
