Default Springs or Coilovers?

Ive got about 200 dollars and want to lower my 98 EX Coupe about 2 inches. I was thinkin about an Eibach Sportline kit but then saw a matrix adjustable coilover suspension? Which one do you think I should get or would you suggest something else?

id save up another 100 and get some skunk 2 coilovers. if you are young and prolly dont have much done to your car just get some nice coils so you can dump the hell out of your car and make it look pretty mean, be prepared to have a pretty bumpy ride with no struts though

IMO, springs are what you need. they will give you better ride comfort and better performance at less cost thatn a good set of coilovers properly balanced.

eibach, H&R and ground control are all excellent choices.

the only reason to go with coilovers is that you can adjust your ride height, which is somethin you won't do often, and can lead to poor performance and comfort if you don't level and balnce them right.

It's up to you, its your wallet and your car :-)

hope this helps
