Default Springs Vs. Coilovers..

Springs: okay so as far i understand.. Most springs lower 2.5" front/2.25" rear. Springs improve ride quality and so on and on..


Coils: Adjustable while maintaining that so called "Smooth ride quality". Can adjust whenever you feel the need 2.


What do you guys... n girls lol, think about this situation? Which do you prefer ?

^made no sense to me?
springs are not stiffer, well depending on the spring. most Brand name coilovers are going to be stiffer for better handling, and you get to raise and lower them how ever you want. Springs suck ass they usually make the back end look lower and that looks retarded

It all depends on what you want. Springs are final, theyll settle a little probably, but whatever height your at, thats your height. If you dont want to go super low, get some springs, if your looking for adjustability, coilovers are you friend.

I can't decide what I wanna get.. Springs save so much money but I like the idea of being able to adjust them whenever needed with coils.. Ugh!!
