Default question about coilovers???
ok i have read that lowering springs involve replacing stock struts.
if you get coilovers do you need to change anything like that?

This depends on if your talking about coilover sleeves, orcomplete coilovers.... Ifyou buy a complete coilover set, they come with springs, struts, and shocks.

How much do you have to spend? Install is a breeze if you get a full coilover system.

That depends on the condition of what he's replacing. Removal was the hardest part for me. Lots of grinding through rusted bolts and getting new bushings pressed in.

I like my Tein setup a lot. If I were to do it again, I'd go with a fixed height with progressively wound springs ..... Progress springs with either Koni yellows for adjustable or Billstein shocks for fixed.
