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.

Re: Lowering springs (coilovers)

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.
