I simply can't make up my mind and I've applied alot of what I've learned on this site to my car. I trust that this will help me make a decision. confused.gif

I've read alot about suspension setup in these here forums.
The concenus of opinion general seems to be towards Koni Yellows or KYB GR-2 shocks, however, as for the question of coilovers or springs,
I don't think anyone has come up with a definitive answer or listed the pros and cons.

So let's get this straight...
(...and I should point out here that I am by no means an expert
and all info. comes from reading peoples responses)

Coilovers
Adjustable - Yes (range between 0 - 4")
Rideability - bouncy
Price - @$130 + (dependant upon make)
Extras:
You're going to need new struts...ummm!
(How long will the struts last before you need to replace them again?)
Camber kit (advisable if going for a 2"+ drop )
Wheel alignment - required everytime you adjust up and down.

Springs
Adjustable - No (range between 1 - 1.75" dependant upon make)
Rideability - firm and precise
Price - @$75 + (dependant upon make)
Extras:
None

Draw your own conclusions.
