Hi everyone, recently I have been thinking about dropping my car. Which would be better, coilovers or lowering springs? Is the ride better with one or the other. Thanks in advnce

From what I read, most people here prefer springs over the coilovers due to the ride quality. Do a search and see what's been said about it before.

Good luck!

lots of people like eibach pro-kits.. but then again some complain that they dont lower the car enough. if you want something low in the soring category go for either eibach sportlines or neuspeed sport springs.

Basically if you want to drop your car just a little bit and have your ride still pretty much stock, go with springs such as sportlines for around a 2" drop or prokit for a 1.5" drop.

If you want to slam your car....or adjust your car around...go with coilovers...but make sure you go with a really good set of coilovers. Otherwise you car will bounce...

I think that is the gest of it..
