Default coilover kit or just shocks and struts??? (93 DA)

i thing it's just me or im just a noob...haha...
but i need a little assitant...
been looking around for a new suspension kit...
and i come across coilovers and shocks and struts...
what are the main difference from the coilovers and straight spring and strut...
besides adjusting anything would it make a difference in the sense of feel when i drive...(93 DA)

the great coilover versus shocks and struts debate.

go for new struts and springs if you want a fairly OEM compliant ride.

go for the coilovers if you want to feel all the bumps in the road.

You couldn't be more far from the truth.
Coilovers have different settings for highway, street, track, etc. Some softer and some harder. Go for ksport or Omni coilovers or Koni Yellows+ GC shocks. I personally run KYB AGX and Eiabch sportline, very happy with them thus far.

um thats the dumbest **** i ever heard,

if you get koni yellow shock/and ground control coilover it will handle 100000xxx better then stock, and it gives you the height you want. you can adjust the setting how soft/hard you wanan ride it

for coilover kit, it let you do alot of setting and adjusting for track, autox, dd, and oether ****..

you cant go wrong with gc/koni, omni, function form, buddy club n+.. you cant go on and on, is also on your budget
