worst advice ever.

Cheap coilovers and "budget" full coilover systems perform and ride like garbage. The spring rates are usually too high...the valving is spastic...it all sucks.


Lowering springs ride nice. A lot of the time, people dont even know how to set up full coilovers so their car ends up handling WORSE THAN STOCK. With springs, all the work is done for you by people who do know what they're doing. There's really no middle ground, IMO. Either springs or a nice (usually expensive) coilover system with proper rates.

The skunk2 spring shock combo....eh...iduno...I'd probably say like $300 used? How much is it new?
