It all depends on what you want to do with your car and how much you want to spend. If you want only a drop and don't plan on tracking your car or driving like a maniac, then get springs. Eibach Pro-kits and Tein S-techs seem to have the nicest drops. If you want coilovers, well, there's too many to choose from. I have TEIN SS and I love them but I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought about the Buddy Club a few times.

if you want there are ground controls. you would have to wait till the koni yellows come out. height control and good for aggressive driving

How Does Your Ride Feel With The Tein Ss?

[IvtecN951]

What Does Everyone Think Of The Tein Basic Coilovers... Does Anyone Have These... Are These Good Enough For A Daily Driver And For Driving Fast Once In A While...

[Sirbelch]

Tein Flex, SS, Basic are all good for street with a little fun driving mixed in. If you put them in yourself, you are going to have to adjust them a couple of times until you get the ride hight you want and the damping/rebound you want (on SS and Flex) If you want a cheap, nice, simple, set it and forget it, get some springs. If you get some springs, you can get some Koni reds or yellows (when they come out with them) later on down the line.

I have had Tein SS and now i have Tein Flex. The SS was just to soft for me but other people think they might be too stiff for them. The SS and the Basic have the same spring rate, 340 lbs/in in the front and 390lbs/in in the rear. The SS just have the ability to have the damping/reboud changed (makes it firm or soft.) Good luck in your choice.

Thanks For The Advice Everyone... If Anyone Has Anything Else To Say Than Ill Be More Than Happy To Read It... I Think Ill Be Going With The Tein Basics... What About The Buddy?anyone Have These?

buddy club is have a groub buy. the list is kinda small but the more we get the more we save. try looking for it in excelerate's section

[[]V[]addog]

don;t forget about getting a rear camber kit!

[Excelerate]

TEIN Basics are a great street setup. They ahve ride height adjustment and are firmer than stock but not stiff. The Buddy Club dampers have much more adjustability: ride height, dampening, and pillowball upper mounts.

If you need either of these setups PM me.

time to drop my car and i wanted peoples opinion on weather i should get coils or just springs?

are there any springs that wont kill my shocks??

is it worth it spending the extra money to get coilovers??

any help appreciated...

[iluvmycsx]

depending on what you plan on doing. if you plan on tracking the car then coilovers would be a good idea. as it will allow you to change the settings. it also depends on how low you want to go, the lower you go the higher chance you have to blow you shocks.

[lp18t]

i really just need a drop cuz stock height bothers me..this is a daily driver

i wanted just stechs but now im set on the skunk2 pro s as it gives me lowering options (which im pretty sure i dont really need) and im sure they'll last longer

i figured if i really wanna drop it might as well do it right

[CanyonDriver]

skunk2 pro s sounds right for you

u have experience? not to stiff for a dd??

[iluvmycsx]

i am in the same boat but i dont have the money for the coilovers. but i see it that i wouldnt get the full use out of coilovers hence why i have decided to go with just springs and stock struts

i feel ya..i dont know how many times i just wanted to order springs and throw them on..but just the idea that the shocks could blow out on aftermarket springs scares me lol

[lp18t]

well thats the chances you take when moding a car

[r18lx]

for me i like springs and struts option, i feel a bit stiffer and you can get struts that change according to your like anyway... if you want to change springs you can buy and sell ur old ones... just a thought...
