      Full coilovers are spring and struts combo.

      Coilover sleeves are the springs only.

        be careful on how people word it...some people may consider 'spring and strut' combo to be a coilover sleeve with an aftermarket shock.
        A full body coilover with have the sleeve built into the shock body, and on some applications, you can adjust the actual shock height, therefore losing no shock travel.

        Maybe people opt for cheaper alternative, which I have heard perform nearly as well. Koni yellow/skunk2 is one of these alternatives.

        It all depends on what you want out of the car.

          and if you just buy lowering springs and use the stock struts
          it wears the strut pretty fast

            Most stock struts are half dead or worse by the time we get our cars anyway!





            Form and Function Autolife Type 2 was designed for our cars, not 5th gens (since the 5th gen suspension works for us, most suspension makers design their stuff for the 5th gen and label it 90-97)

            Tein Basic is inexpensive and decent

            Tein SS is better, but costs more

            Tein Type Flex (for the CL) can be used

            Megan Racing makes a good coilover setup, actually.





            Personally, I would go with the Neuspeed Cup Kit. That's a set of Neuspeed-designed Koni Yellows and Neuspeed Race springs. Very good setup. Konis are fantastic shocks. It won't be adjustable, other than the 5 perches on the Koni shock body... but the drop will be around what you want, and I'd take Konis over any of the stuff in any of those coilover kits.
