First explain what you are currently running on your car.

Also what are you planning on doing with the car? Is it a daily driver? Is it a track or auto -x car?

The number of coils on a spring - in short - dictates how the spring behaves, there are other factors but i'm not some spring engineer or do i know the physics behind it.

But unless you are designing the spring... all you care about is the spring rate.

Spring rates are either measured in pounds per inch or kilograms per millimeter - If i'm not mistaken.

How your car will ride and handle, depends on what spring rate you run, what dampers you run, your ride height, what tire size you run, the material and state of your bushings, your tire pressure, and the type of tire you run.

If you are going for just a lowered ride height on a daily driver, some upgraded dampers and a set of lowering springs from h&r, eibach, or tien is all you need.

For more information, search this forum for information on the manufacturer that you plan on buying your equipment from.
