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

I'm a bit backwards, my daily (the Chaser) has Cusco coilovers) and the 205 has a spring and shock combination (with adj strut tops, shocks are adjustable etc)

As a generalisation a good spring and shock combo (unless stupidly low) will have more travel, and will probably hold onto the road better (assuming normal not "perfectly flat race track" like roads)

If you have an aftermarket front bar and you want low then coilovers may be the way to go. If you intend on driving hard on normal roads (and if you had an aftermarket front bar you probably aren't) then something with slightly softer settings and decent suspension travel is the way to go.
