REDBULLx69 Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 i cant decide whether i should go with springs or coilovers...i heard springs can bust your struts but if you get a good type like tien they wont. and coilovers are just a pain in the rear to install and fool with bla bla...and really expensive. a little help please? also whats a good website i can look at some and order off of?

wannaBstuntin Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Yes, those statements are generally correct from what I've read. Coilovers won't be any harder to install. They are good for being able to adjust height and stiffness from season to season or event to event. There are many good brands out there. Quality usually goes up with price. I got mine from tirerack.com, but you might find more options elsewhere if you look around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airjordan223 Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 moving this to the suspension section... Redbull, if you look at the pinned topics at the top of this section you can get some information as these questions are very common. There is also a "how to" on lowering your car with stock struts using extended top hats. at the end of the day, it comes down to what youre going to be doing with the car: are you fine with a set height/stiffness, then get springs if youre going to track the car and want to be able to make adjustments to the height/stiffness, then get coilovers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
true-bluecb7 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I was in the same situation you were in... deciding between coilover sleeves and springs. I almost got TEIN S.Techs, but I ended up getting Megan Racing sleeves. The sleeves won't bust as easily if the drop isn't lower than two inches from what I've heard. I dumped my junk, so it blew in a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
