Ok, so i have a question for anyone who is a smart individual... lowering springs, or coilovers... im not into the massive suspension upgrades, but was wondering if there was a difference in the either or... im tired of the wheel gap, and either want lowering springs, or coilovers, but what are the pros and cons of each, and which would be better for just cruising, and not a 'track' kinda thing...

springs tend to be more stockish feel but you'd have to get a full coilover set like teins in order to get comfort. if you just get the coil springs and not the struts for it, something like ebay, it will suck. Make sure you have spring bumpers too.

springs are a good way to improve your handling on teh streets....plus if u drive in bad conditioned roads, coilovers arent a good deal....

stick with springs, unless you plan to track the car and get some sort of custom corner balancing. coilovers are overkill for a regular street app.

BOTH have their pros and cons. Springs are bouncy but they do better recoil whenever you hit bumps and ditches becuz of the springness. Coilovers are stiff! So you better slow down on those bumps and ditches otherwise your tires/rims are gonna go but they are height adjustable. I would have to say go with Springs. They are better for daily driving and a basic upgrade to normal handling on the roads.
