If fitting lowering springs it is a wise move to replace the shocks aswell.  :smiley:

Springs = fixed drop in height

Coilovers = adjustable ride height

Coilovers tend to give a much firmer / harsher ride

Depends what state your shocks are in... Imo if you're going to replace the springs then you may aswell replace the shocks. Either buy a set of coilovers if you wana go low or what i did and get a spring and shock package
