I've had Tein HR's before... I know what coils feel like, I love them. But they came WITH my old hatch. I need to go to the salvage yard and see if they are still on the car... Now to find the guy that took my car... lol No srsly. I love coils, but Im not dropping a grand for em.mrgreeneyes wrote:if your goal is JUST to lower it, then buy ebay springs. but its not. you want a nicer ride while being lower.
tom has kyb's with eibach springs and my car can destroy his in the twisties... i dont have em just for ride height, i got beautiful performance out of them. thats all im saying man. i just dont want to see ya have spent money on a spring/strut combo then ride in someones car with nice coils and regret not putting that money into coils as well. i did something worse than that lol... i wasted $800 on ksports only to find out that for a meager $200 more i could have had PBMs. I felt robbed/stupid for not doing it right the first time.
but this is your car, your call. i just wanted to share my experience.
if struts and springs are your thing, do it. i wont "look down" on it or anything. i respect being on a budget. i blew my budget outta the water and im in debt because of this stupid car. lol but i heart her, even if shes ugly and spraypainted
$400 is about my limit, so yeah. Spring/struts right here. Later on though, Imma get some coils. When my budget allows. But I have 1 blown strut as it is, and I can't be saving up for a couple months just to get coils... Maybe I should get a second PT job... hmmm
