Default need help skunk 2 springs or skunk 2 coilover?

like it says i just braught the skunk2 sport shocks, and i was wonderin which is better? performance wise? either the skunk2 lowering springs or the skunk2 sleave coilover, i know the difference i know that you can at the most get a 2.5 inch drop with the springs, and over 3-4 inchs with the just the coilover sleave, but i want a good ride no bumpy ish, and great cornering, now the sleave coilovers are stiffer, and they are the race springs, so just let me know what you guys would do, springs or coilovers

do the lowering springs.....with the coilovers you will get a good straight and corner ride, but but but as soon as you get into some bumps all you will get is klunking......with the springs the are tight to the tower and good corners, straights and a more cumfortable ride, the coilovers were originally made for the track(smooth) ...IMO get the springs you will be more satisfied

i would get the springs as they ride way better than the coilovers do. I have coilovers on my car and my friend has springs on his both skunk2 of course and stock struts as far as i know

i have the springs and shocks you are talkin about honestly just use your stock top hats the struts are already designed for less travel and the stock top hats are more than sufficent to do the job. overall i believe the springs will work best since your car is not solely a track car. they still have stiff rates and should do fine at the track

i had skunk2 springs and skunk2 shocks on my DA... tucked blades in the rear. it was kind of a rough ride. I now have ksport coilovers on my eg and it is a lot smother and just as low. ride quality is subjective, and also has a lot to do with the spring rates. what are the spring rates on the s2's? my ksports are 12k f/ 10k r and it is stiff, but I like it. paired w/skunk2 LCA and ASR brace right now.
