Springs or Coilovers

[woahnowboys]

I've got JOM coils, and they are very comfortable.
What happens a lot is that once you lower it a bit, you'll kinda get addicted, and want to go lower.
Coilovers are good because they give you that choice, whereas you'd have to take the springs off, and get new ones to put on if you wanted to go lower.
And then you've got spare springs laying around, which you can obviously sell, but more effort again.

I vote coilovers.

Now I am preparing my car for trackdays I will be changing to KWv3's 

Having bought a brand new set of V1's last year and had troubles I hope you never have to rely on their support like I did as it is sh*t. 

Go Bilstein Monte.

Tell me about it! On my 200sx I said I'd keep it a sensible height as it was my daily / track car. That went out the window pretty quickly now it's as low as the fronts will go without taking out the helper springs and the rear camber arms sit on the chassis leg....

As & when I want to upgrade the edition I'll be going for good quality shocks & springs as I don't / won't need the adjustability of coilovers.

£80-£100?

Pay that little bit extra and get some Eibach springs.

Plenty of forum sponsors which will give discounts... Have a look about...

Just lowered mine 20mm on Eibach Sportline Springs, done a great job for me, handles SOOOO much better now too!..

[GrayMK5GTI]

Springs are a waste of time.

For a 15-20mm I'd say they are perfect for this situation

Im not sure you can get springs for £80-£100

DPM Performance will match / beat the price of anywhere else , and I've been dealing with Damian for years, he really is a top bloke. Anything suspension (aside from my air ride) , adaptors, spacers, bolts, whatever.. I go to him. Sorted me out with replacement JOMs OVER WINTER/NEW YEAR when they were CLOSED, when one of mine broke. Bought my Eibachs, JOMs and roll bars from him, all my spacers, and both my merc bolts and my RC bolts..
