In my town roads are really bad, replacing regular struts is way cheaper than coilovers, so for me, lower spring is the best option

[renegarcia]

If you daily drive your vehicle honestly stick to lowering springs, coilovers are waayy to noisy like really bad metal clunking noise whereas with springs you really don’t notice much of a difference

Quality shocks / lowered springs > generic coilovers

[sspoolin]

If you’re gonna get springs, get aftermarket shocks too. Easily under $1000 and they improve ride quality

[onlyfacts]

Honestly a properly done suspension with all the boxes checked can easily run you the same, if not much more than Coilovers. Can’t just slap some lowering springs on your car and call it a day. Consider new Struts, rear shocks, new bumper kit, lower control arms, upper control arms, etc. Lowering springs won’t be the cheaper option in the long run if you neglect the rest of your suspension system.

For cars without double wishbone suspension get coils for ones with double wishbone get springs they work well

[michaelboyce]

Those particular coilovers require adjusting preload to determine ride stiffness - complete garbage like my skunk2 pro c’s. Springs with matched struts not only ride better but do not sacrifice quality (also skunk2.)

There's a lot of talk about lowering springs damaging the suspension. Especially on higher mileage vehicles. Would it be easier to go with coilovers and spend the extra money on quality parts. Or go with lowering springs and hope for the best haha? Seems like there's a lot of mixed opinions.

[michaleczek]

wait how is stiffer suspension more comfortable? ot should be less comfortable but more effective when it comes to handling

[bluegun]

Not every car is one or the other on springs vs coilovers. For example, Nissan Z31 and S130 chassis. In that realm the coilovers are mainly for looks unless they're paired with S13 subframes but even then you're looking at some serious alignment adjustments going forward in order to get coilovers to act as designed. Progressive type lowering springs paired with Koni or similar adjustable shock/strut cartridges maintain the factory suspension design and a semi-comforable ride. Linear springs don't have the lighter rate coils on top and bottom and handle similar to coilovers if done right.
One advantage coilovers bring is the ability to corner-balance suspension, though most people obviously don't do it cuz a corner-balanced ride usually isn't very low or aggressive looking from just a suspension change.

Any recommendations for a european corolla e11 compact pre facelift?

[glyxics]

i got a 2017 corolla with 102k miles should i buy springs? or get coils

[SureYouRight]

This is another example of reality vs to expectations. We all want that tire to fender look that makes everything look better but never achieve it without issues. Lowering springs rarely get the vehicle weight and height correctly since they're mass produced to work on multiple models. It's then a battle to find a strut that can soften up the ride to your liking. Coilovers seem like the better option but the setup and follow up adjustments can discourage you from doing the install yourself. In reality, most people would love to have the same ride characteristics as stock, just with a lowered appearance. And that's not what you're going to get. I understand that a stiffer suspension helps on the track, but since we use our vehicles on the street, it makes a reflector on the street feel like you went over a boulder. Plus hoping down the street makes for an interesting experience when it rains. I'm sure you can find a suspension setup that will ride close to factory but I guarantee you that you will spend a pretty penny. Good news for the people who have active suspension, lowering springs seem to work for you since the computer will adjust itself to improve the ride quality.

This is springs vs springs. You basically call get the same thing. If your struts are gone and leaking, then a cheap set of coil over will cost something similar

[bretthansen]

Do coilovers and do it right the first time. I’ve had many Eibach springs (pro kit and sportline) which lowered the ride height. With a high end coilover not only can you adjust the ride height, but adjust the dampening for whatever you desire.
Springs are the “cheap” way to do it, get coilovers and do it right the first time.
People saying “coilovers don’t ride well” are buying cheap coilovers that are $1400 or under.
Get a good set.

I have a 2016 genesis coupe and can’t decide weather I should get coilovers or springs. I daily the car and drive kinda fast/rough but idk what to get. I was looking into Godspeed or ISR coilovers but I’m not to sure if it’s worth it

[HUNCHO_]

You just saved me so much money bro! im doing a cheap but nice build for my honda. I was gonna spend an arm and a leg if i didn't know this🤧

[Criticalcanvas]

2017 Elantra Sport.. just started modding.. been in my head all day if I should do springs or coilovers .. mostly a daily… 40K miles right now- I don’t race- looks was the goal, however, I want to do what’s best but not for an arm and a leg either ..

Opinions are appreciated and wanted lol thanks!

[salvadorrodriguez]

If you install coilovers does it get rid of your track, sport, comfort setting? For example...my car has a normal setting for suspension and sport, and track. Which just stiffens the suspension. If I install coilovers will I not have that option anymore?

2022 330i m sport. Just want some less wheel gap without sacrificing ride quality. Thinking lowering springs. Dinan or H&R
