do you care to adjust height? care about how it handles?

I think if soft is what you want.. you should go with springs.

superdave80

nah dont care about adjusting height to much but i have the type s rims and plan to upgrade to some 19 soon thats y i've been leaning more towards coilovers so i can go up or down on it and for handling yes

if you want to be wise you would go with Tein SS because if you install sprint in factory shocks, u will end up doing the shocks later, paying 2x installation.

If you don't want tein SS, get H & R SPORT springs with koni sport shocks. This setup i have and i love it. u will not have gap on your will at the lowest perch.

superdave80

thanks for some input man

superdave80

read the sticky tread above about camber kit. Usually with a good alignment camber kit is not needed. But read all the info

Coilovers Do it right the first time.

superdave80

how much of a drop is urs and did u need a camber kit

yeah thats what im leaning towards more

superdave80

ok i've decided to go with coilovers but which one function form type 1 or 2 or go with the teins ss

I hate cars

If you want real world performance, the correct coilover or modified Konis will work.

With lowering springs and some coilovers you lose suspension travel which is already very limited. Some coilovers keep stock suspension travel while lowering the car. Konis can be modified like I did to keep stock travel while lowering the car.

You will only reduce performance by lowering the car onto it's bumpstops. If you care about performance at all, do your research on which coilover to get.

+1 on coilovers

So did you end up shortening the lower body of the Koni? Or what did you do to modify it? Thanks

superdave80

megans on 19's

might go lower one day but i will have to remove my mud guards but im very happy i went with coilovers love the fact i can adjust even if i dont and that u can adjust the dampning as well

rides the same as when had 19's. It's slammed...have to or the ride looks like those "donked" cars. Even worse with no body kit, but you're not getting no buggy feel with coilovers of course. the "stock" feel is sacrificed but it's not bad in any sense. I prefer riding on 19. Had to do crazy neg camber on rears to sit that low with 20s. Murphs ride above is nice. Got to see it at Acurafest.
