A full coilover consists of a shock and spring, to put it bluntly. Your suspension choices are...

1) Full coilovers - both height and damper adjustable, usually a firmer setup unless you go with Tein, etc.

2) Shock and spring combo - mating an aftermarket shock like Koni, Tokico, etc with a lowering spring like H&R, Eibach, etc. This is usually a softer and less versatile setup, but an adjustable shock like Koni's have damper and height adjustability so it can be sort of versatile.

3) Shock and coilover sleeve - using an aftermarket shock like Koni, etc with a coilover sleeve (linear spring w/adjustment collar), this is between full coilovers and and a shock/spring setup, so to speak.

Thanks, guys. Very helpful. Send me a pm how I can give rep and I'll do so accordingly.

Can't wait to get this done and get back to the wheels. I like how my Eibachs feel, so I might look at Tein or similar brands.

The trend seems to be to go at least one size down from the width of the rim.

ie - 8" wide(would be a 225) - 215 tire
9" wide(would be a 235) - 225 tire
