I'm thinking of lowering my car, but can't decide which way to go. Any input will be nice :)

Is it worth it to get a coilover?

Totally worth IT! Bc if you want it back to stock height its adjustable! If you want to slam it, DO IT! Mild drop, any kind of drop you want! I had springs for a year and half and I was really happy, but then springs to Coilovers :naughty: Save and go coilovers... :werd:

seriously save the $200+ for new ($100+ for his) and go for coilovers. i had tanabe springs for 2 years and regret not saving for coilovers. plus i think i blew my stock struts with the lowering springs.
but if you MUST get springs get tanabe, they go lower than the eibachs. do not get magans. but all 3 will probably ruin the struts.

Will i need a performance shocks if I ever install a lowering spring? I read something about lowering springs messing up with the shocks.
