hey guys im thinking about buying coilovers for my 95 DC2, want to drop a couple of inches and i can justify it with the improved handling :p

Just wondering whats the best way to go, buy coilovers or buy springs and shocks separately.

Thinking of something like these

Springs and shocks separately work well if you match them up correctly eg: Koni yellow shocks with ground control springs. Very good for lowerage AND handling

The ones you linked seem to have good reviews, but i do not have first hand experience with them.

As a coilover kit i recommend Tein Super Street. Do you have a budget?

Senna is too far away, I would pm curtis265, he is a local and can get hookups.
