    Seriously?your not a gangstaaaaaaaaaa stop trying to type like one!
    Cut springs= Fucking reatarded.
    Lowering springs= Just right for me when i need to take it out on some twistys an aswell for everyday DD use.
    Coilovers= IMO unless you need them for track use an know how to adjust them for track/road conditions i see no point.Most get them for their Hella "JDM" stance yo!Which is pointless function wise.My car was slammed before i got my Eibachs an it handles an rides 10X better now than before.
    Dont cheap out on this get good quality springs or coliovers also invest in a good strut setup!

      From what I read, if you get lowering springs you should also get coilovers regardless of how low you go.

              Well, unless you're going with a full coilover setup or a pair of Ground Control coilover sleeves matched to a strut, the only "good" piece you listed is the lowering spring.

              This is incorrect. Coilover sleeves replace springs with a shorter spring and a threaded collar. Lowering springs and coilover sleeves are mutually exclusive pieces.

              This. Coilover sleeves have very high spring rates typically which OEM and many aftermarket struts cannot match, which leads to a bouncy ride.

              You're lucky. If you replace the springs, replace the struts with an upgarded strut, it is well worth it considering you'll have everything apart.

                Thats not necessarily true. Coilovers come in handy during certain times of the year when the weather is snowy. Plus people's tastes change. Sometimes you're feeling slammed out, sometimes your not. But other than that I get what you're saying.

                  Quality springs. Quality shocks to match the springs (not all shocks will work... many will be very unsafe). A camber kit, especially if you're going lower than 2". ALIGNMENT is necessary no matter what you do.

                  And please... stop typing like a 12 year old e-thug. You are asking experienced adults to help you modify your car. We are not your "boiz" or your "homiez". We will help you, but if you insist on typing like a stupid kid, you will be treated as such.

                    It boggles my mind that some people say coilovers are more 'for' a track car. Coilover sleeves are height adjustable by setting preload. I see that being a horrible idea where a mix between stiff then stocker, but yet still smooth is sought after. My omnipower coilovers are height and preload adjustable. In my opinion, having preload and height adjustments are fantastic for daily and 'track' hands down.

                      Right, But every time you adjust your suspension you should have your vehicle realigned and for a dd having set suspension that is what you prefer is going to be a better idea. Alignments can get expensive.

                        not when you buy the lifetime alignment at firestone for 150-170ish

                        thats what i have done for my wagon and coupe but i was changing suspensions around figuring out what setup i wanted for which car

                          I like my coil-lovers,my car sits nice and perfect. I like them because I can raise the back up a little bore than springs will. They ride really good.

                            thepowderblue, I can't even tell what you are saying. Do you speak English? Seriously... Whatever you're talking about, you failed to even mention what your setup is... so whoopdeedoo... you like what you have. Good for you. Stop wasting my bandwidth with posts that don't contribute to the conversation.

                            It's not so much that coilovers are better for a track car... it's just that having more things to adjust is beneficial on a track. ASSUMING the driver or someone on his team knows how to properly adjust them to benefit from it.

                            The same goes for a street car, only it's not quite so drastic. If you have a ton of adjustment options, but no knowledge or need for it, then it's wasted. Getting a set of properly engineered springs and matched shocks will give the best and safest performance.

                              Idk, I don't personally see preload settings being a hard concept to grasp, but do I understand.
