so I'm trying to decide on whether I should go with springs or full coilovers when I lower my celi, cause I've heard many point of views from both sides and I wanted your guys opinions. at the moment im leaning more towards springs because of the price factor as I only work part time so I don't make that much money but id like to see some opinions
also not sure how much to lower it with my setup, ive got 17" rims, invader rear and sides, with a varis airising Ii front. anyway id like to know what you guys think thx

If you can get the springs that make the car sit where you want it, get the springs provided you're not racing more than autox. It's not worth the extra money... People like to say they have coilovers just because its the cool thing on the internet. Unless you're racing (in which the cheapo coilovers are useless anyway) or having a very hard time adjusting ride height, the price just isnt worth it.
I have $1200 coilovers on my rx7, I haven't adjusted the height in 2 years or played with the damper settings since I initially set them. The reason I went with coilovers was because I couldnt get the rideheight. The springs I tried just didnt wouldnt work, between the new bumper and much bigger wheels it looked like a 4x4 even with lowering springs. My rally coilovers are a whole different ballgame and 3x the price, but its pretty much racing application only.
