Lowering Springs Vs. Coilovers
I want to lower my car, but i am not sure which one i want. I dont want to dramatically kill the quality of my ride. I have heard with coilovers the ride can be quite bouncy. I dont want that. I dont want to have to go to a chioropractor everytime i drive my car. I like being able to control the ride height of my car. Could anyone give me some pointers on which one to look at? Thanks a lot.

Well, here is what everyone will tell you so I'll sum it up in one post:
- Coilover sleeves give you the option of adjusting your ride height, but at the expense of ride quality. Most people will tell you that Eibach ground control are one of the best
- Springs are cool, but once you put them on, you have to live with the height. The lower you go, the harsher your ride becomes, but rarely as bad as coilover sleeves.
- Full coilovers (spring and strut combo). The best when it comes to blending performance, ride adjustability, and ride quality. Skunk2 makes some decent ones, but everyone bows down to Tein.
Full coilovers are the most expensive option, but not by much when you realize you'll probably need to replace your stock struts at some point as well. That, and some of us have made mistakes with our suspension choices and probably would have saved money if we just went with Teins the first time.
That is all.
