SPRINGS OR COILOVERS

I was told if I went with springs instead of coilovers my ride will be a lot better. I have ground controls with my Konis. Should I get lowering springs with my Konis? If so what kind of springs are good for about a 1.5 inch drop.

I'd go with Eibach Sportlines.. the Eibach springs (after some reasearch) on the GC coil overs is single rate springs which are a bit softer than the Sportlines..

Correct me if I'm wrong but I found this on a tech site.

coilovers are basicaly springs suspension but you can adjust the height, whereas springs you will have a set height,
ground control is a name brand of coilovers that uses ebiach springs

RedDragon333 will become famous soon enough
with springs you will get a better ride but with coilovers you will have the very nice advantage of adjustability...im goin to get a body kit that will drastically affect the ride height so i wanted the adjustability so when i drive it i can rtaise it or lower depending on where im at...if you dont have to deal witha lot of bad roads then drop it with springs.....eibachs are the sh*t

Springs. Much better ride. Either H&R or Eibach. I have Eibach sportlines, about a 1.5-1.8 inch drop.

Most likely, yes. I wanted the same type of ride as you do and I got the Neuspeed Sport springs after being referred to them by 01incapearl.
