Coilover Vs Shocks and Springs HELP
Coilover Vs Shocks and Springs HELP
I am torn between these two forms of lowering my car. I have the sedan, and have heard that most of the springs are made for the coupe, so I will sag in the back. If I buy coilovers I know that I can prevent this, but they are also $400 more. Should I go with the springs and risk my car unevenly lowering or just use the money and go with the coilovers. And by the way if I went the spring route, I would get tokico blues with eibach sportlines, if I bought coilovers I would go either progress or d2.
Also where is a good place to buy these products? Thanks a lot.

Believe it or not, most of the sag is from bad shocks, not the springs themselves.
Comfort-wise, progressive springs provide the best ride - hands down.
Bling Factor (for most people) and adjustablity - Coilovers.
Best of both worlds - Ground Control Sleeves. You pick the shock, spring rates, topmounts, etc.

Re: Coilover Vs Shocks and Springs HELP
If u get springs and do it right, you will sPend almost as much as a coilover system because spring + strut is just about the same price as coilovers
So do yourself a favor and get coilovers

Re: Coilover Vs Shocks and Springs HELP
Full coilover set up is the best way to go and its very easy to do. Some set ups have pillow ball mount tops on the front coilovers to adjust camber, but you have to buy a seperate camber kit for the rear. Camber kits are recommended to prevent uneven tire wear. After you adjust the height, adjust camber as close as you can then bring the car to an alignment shop, then your set. Just do your research on the differrent brands and what models and features to choose from.
