hey what is up everyone? I got a question about buying just springs. Instead of buying the whole coil overs kit. D2 sales there springs for around 150$ and the coilovers for around 1,000$.
for what it is worth. What is some of your opinions. I don't do Auto Cross, I only go to the Drag strip every once in awhile. So....... Just buying springs will it help at all. Or would I have to buy the whole coil overs kit to be able to tell a difference in handling.

Springs will help, lowering the center of gravity and a stiffer spring rate will definitely help both in looks and cornering. Coils still have a lot of advantages over springs but not everyone will use all the features of could and if you know you won't, then you should go with the springs.

I can't afford to drop 1000$ on a set of coils at the moment I got to many bills. do you recommend any springs? I would like to be lower but I want them to be stiff at the same Time. I don't want it to fell like I got hydraulics.

When you click on the attachment you probably have to wait few second or just open it in a new window. It was a little bit too low for me.

Can you see it now? The ride quality was perfect. It was stiff, but not bouncy.

no I can't see it. I am on my phone it might be that. That is good I don't want it to be bouncy. I might end up buying the eibach.

And thank you for the pictures. I am going to do some more research before I buy some.
