WTF? really? its up to whatever you wanna do with your car. if you wana fix your quality ride and keep it OEM or slam it to the ground, its up to you

so, what do u need help with?

jr240yo! · 06-02-2011, 05:14 PM

like i meant i want too lower it pretty low but idk if i should buy coilovers or shocks and springs like what would be better too do so...

atomicguy7 · 06-02-2011, 06:11 PM

well springs would give you a fixed permanent drop and you cant really slamm it, buy some coilsover and your set for the most part

You will never be low enough with shocks and springs...coilovers are the only way to do it right and without killing you.

you apparently have a computer and there are stores online that sell coilovers.. So a quick glance at a set of coilovers online and anyone with any kind of general car knowledge would be able to tell that they are fully adjustable and if that isnt enough there is always the product decription

Yes coilovers are adjustable. I have teins on mine and love it.

Something to also think about is the other parts that go in to your suspension when lowering your car. caster, camber, toe, angle, etc.
