Springs go with Goldlines or Eibach...

For coilovers go with Ground Control...

Make sure you get a camber kit and a alignment afterwards..

Have fun..

Springs are set to a certain ride height...coilover sleeves let you adjust your ride height. I would get springs cuz the ride is better...I have springs.

Springs are easier to install. With Coilovers you gotta modify your front struts by cutting off the spring seat, then you won't be able to put your stocks back on. Also Coilover are more noisy, you hear alot of squeking and they are more bouncy. So if that is your thing go with coilovers. I have GoldLine springs and I love them.

Go to the suspension forum and read the FAQ, that should answer all your questions.

but if you don't have a grand lying around like me then get the springs.

With after market springs should you purchase new shocks or keep the OEM ones?
