Good coilovers?
I am looking for some good coilovers for around $180-$200 range. Anyone have any good advice on which ones to get? I'm not really sure on which one is better than the other. Maybe even some springs? Any advice will be good.

Rep Power: 0 If u know roughly how much a drop you want and will not change the height, then go with springs.
I prefer springs cuz the ride is much smoother than coilovers. Eibach sportline or neuspeed sport are the good/popular ones out there.

Rep Power: 0 coilovers = full shock assembly w/ adjustable spring perch
adjustable springs = adjustable springs (Ground Control, etc.)

Rep Power: 0 also bear in mind that with coilovers, you are gonna have to drive much more careful than with springs.
WHY? because when you compress your coils to drop your car, lets say 2 inches, it also compresses your stock shocks, therefore giving them less give.
meaning they are gonna be pretty rough, if you hit a big pot hole or something too fast..your gonna blow a shock much easier than if you had springs.
if you do get coils...try not to drop it too much till you can get some aftermarket shocks/struts...and drive very carefully!!!
myself id reccomend the eibach sportlines
good luck
