#15026, "Kinda thinking of going from H&R springs to coil overs....need yur opinion"




          

Well I kinda want to be lower, and I dont think there are any springs that go lower than the H&R Race Springs, so I want coilovers, I guess ground control, cuz those are pretty popular and I hear good things, but what are sum good/bad things?

Good
-any ride height I want
-get my car into any shop( cuz I could just raise my car )

Bad
-heard ride was crappy
-everytime you adjust height, I heard you have to adjust yur camber/get and alinghment

Is there anything else? And is that all tru? What do you guys think?

If you go any lower you're gonna fuck up your car from our shitty roads around here. I think it looks dope with the H&R springs!

Quit changin your foogin mind! Otherwise your going to end up throwing away a thousand dollars like I did last summer.

Which is more important to you... handling or looks? If its handling, stay with the springs. If its looks, like you want your car on the ground for shows or whatever then change to coilovers. Your car is low enough, any lower and you have to start worrying about tearing off the oil pan and stuff like that.

And your car looks great with those springs BTW.

HEY! What's wrong with coilovers? I personally love my skunk'2's! But it is all personal preference. Your car does look tight though. Any closer pics of it?

You get that chrome emblem yet? That red sticks out like a sore thumb, that chromey would look NICE on your car.

I agree with ^^^^ Kill the red decal. I usually don't like white cars, but I think your ride is tight. The rims make the car!
I give it emoji emoji !!!
