ive got F2 type one coilovers. a little over 600 and you can drop till your scraping or ride with a small gap. ride is pretty stiff for DD. super easy to install and i don't regret it one bit.

dont mean to thread jack but

isnt there a coilover where you can slamm it hard, and it will still feel comfortable? isnt that like a luxury coilover kit or somethin? i think j-magic makes one but for luxury cars like Lexus and Infiniti

Dont get springs. I have some springs, but the ride quality is bad and its way easier to install full coilovers then take off your old spring and put on a new one for each strut. Definatly worth it to dish out the extra cash for coils.

what springs do you have i had both eibach and h&r sportlines and race springs or w/e and they still drove smooth compared to stock i would prefer them over "coil sleeves" and day lol, and it was on stock struts!:jae:

Full coilovers

springs-not adjustable, can only drop so much
coilovers-adjustable, you can slam, but there will probably be a ****ty ride

and this is your third thread started today, do some searching (search bar between new posts and quick links)

This is about all that needed to be said in this thread.

Off Topic, JeffP, car looks wicked in your sig! :rock:

I suggested that you search in your other thread man, and you are asking people to spell it out for you. At least look around and read any variety of threads that cover springs/coils, and check out the suspension review thread. You'll do yourself a favor because as I said, this has been discussed in depth.

im not an expert but i will be going slammed with sum megan coilover sleeves and sum tokico blue struts !!

do sum type of combo like that to drop ur car

That's not a good set up. Your going to end up blowing your struts and they wont be warrantied. Bad idea. Get Tokico Illuminas if you can't afford coilovers. Their adjustable. But it might come out to almost the same price of coilovers if you get Tokico Illuminas & Megan Coilovers (heard horrible reviews). I have some Ground Controls for sale if your interested. My buddy upgraded to FF Type 2 coilovers. Lmk if your interested.

I think your thinking about the air bag suspension. $2-3k

Coilovers. So easy to install and it's one assembly. You don't have to worry about compressing springs and replacing blown shocks that aren't made to be slammed. Unless you go with something like Tokico Illuminas.
