what do you guys think is best to lower my tc?? lowering springs or coilovers. whatever it is, which ones should i get?? i wanna drop it a good 2" or so. its also gonna be a daily driver. let me know what you guys think

 

If you have the money.....

Coilovers

 

yep if you have the money go for coilovers

 

x2

If you dont have the money TEIN S-Techs drop 2.5" but you have to worry about wearing out your shocks.

 

i got the money for coilovers so which ones do you recommend?? i have read up alot and have my eyes pretty set on the tein ss ones but alot of people have different opinions about them. especially as a daily driven car

 

Tein SS+P with EDFC

^ Or those, which I'll most likely be getting when I decide to get coils.

 

heard of any probs wit them over time?? whats the spring rate??

 

For which?

I havent heard of any problems at all for either.
But I would get the JIC's over the Tein's in a heartbeat.

 

and why is that??
whats the difference??

 

Better overall quality IMO

 

What do you want out of the car?

If it's mostly for looks then simple $100 springs will accomplish that.
No use dropping nearly $1000 for looks.

If you plan on doing any racing then I would look into coilovers or a good set of matched springs/shocks.

Just lowering with springs would probably provide the most comfortable ride.
Springs and after market shocks would probably ride a bit stiffer.
Full coilovers are probably the stiffest.

Some people prefer a really stiff ride and some don't; that's why you get all these mixed opinions on whats good and what isn't.

 

yep, if you think you'll be autoxing a lot, or theres situations where you have to adjust the heigh of your ride, then coilover's the thing for you. otherwise, if you just want it for looks, springs and mayyybe shocks will be good enough for you.

 

I hope you're aware that the JIC coilovers are $1900...

 

ok that narrows it down to springs and shocks cuz im lookin for a stiffer ride and plan on goin to some shows this spring before i move to Germany. sayin that, what springs and shocks do you recommend??

 

hotchkis springs with koni yellows.

 

For something close to OEM and probably the cheapest, I say whatever springs you want and Tokico blues.

 

^^^ Great price and great quality. H techs or hotchkis springs to go with them...

 

Yeap I know.
Thats why coilovers are a long ways away.

 

any opinions on sprint springs??
