Depends on the other things you have done to your car if you ask me. Also depends on what your trying to do with your car. If it's strictly for looks then I would go with springs, no need in spending all the money on coil overs if your just going to be showing your car.

However if your going to be taking turns at fast speeds or driving your car like a maniac, I would highly recommend coil overs.

Springs are just that, springs, they lower your car depending on what kind of springs you get I believe. I've never really been a fan of springs, so my knowledge on them is limited.

However coil overs are adjustable, you can adjust your ride height with them on your car. Most rally cars have coil overs on them because of the handling capabilites they add to your car. Again, I'm still learning to, but this is just some basic knowledge I know about coil overs, haven't really got to that point with my car yet. Still working the exhaust area myself.

Next is probably going to be brakes and wheels. Then I might go for coil overs.

Hope I helped a little.

Like said^^ its all preference as I look at it differently.......coil overs will give you better handling (if you get a good make) but not necessarily a big difference that you would notice over springs.....coil overs will give you a rough ride more so then springs will....

remember it also all depends on what you get......stay away from ebay

for coil overs ground control is probs the best

springs there are more options, just depends on how low you want to go,
eibach prokits.....1.4 all around
eibach sportlines 17.front and 2.3 read...(evens out the ride height) sold me! you can see pics of the drop on my cardomain page. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/666730

there are many others that ppl have I would recommend those 3, all those springs are made by eibach, even the spring part for the coil overs by ground control are made by eibach



I have one true love in my life...And my girlfriend sits next to me in it
