Title: coilovers and lowering springs?
Post by: JDM82 on 04 September 2009, 11:40

Im pretty new to the modifiying scene so please forgive me for asking what is probably a stupid question but whats the difference between lowering springs and coilover kits apart from the price that is?Also is JOM a decent make of coilovers as they are quite cheaper than other brands?Im wanting my car lowering as it looks like a 4x4 on the new 18's but dont know the difference?

The main difference is shocks and springs will give less of a drop but tend to be more comfortbale.

Coilovers give a lower drop (which is completely adjustable to suit by the way), but they tend to give a harder ride.
