I heard installing just springs can wear out your shocks more quickly? Would it be better to just save up and buy myself some coilovers?

It will wear out stock shocks, but if its shocks thats designed to handle lowered springs like skunk2's it will be okay.
Yes invest in coilovers, its worth it.
what you guys think of the t1r lowering springs?
hey guys i'm thinking of getting the Tein S-tech springs for my jazz vtis 07' and i'm currently running on 15"x7 offset +45 rims. I normally drive 3 other ppl in the morning = 4 ppl in the car, will the springs be able to support this much weight after lowering without rubbing? its pretty much around 60km/h driving to uni in the city area..so wun be going v.fast..thanks for ur replies in advance
@kl85
my GD is lowered and i have 15x7 + 35, 195/50 and i rub slightly over bumps w/ no one in the back seats. so i'm gonna guess you're gonna get some/lots of rubbing. but you do have 45 offsets which might help it, ionos
@kenz_
t1r, tein & swift get a lot of good reviews. but moreso the teins n swifts so i'd say go for them if you have the option to over the t1r
Hi ivanh, if it rubs, will rolling the guards help? My car looks weird unlowered haha...
my 2005 VTiS GD is running 15x7 +40mm enkei's and running Kings spring, (they only come in lows, so only like 2/3inch lower), no rub, no issue, stock shock, car's done 180,000km+. Rides great, handing improvement was obvious
Will be interesting to see how it holds up once i get it back from getting it turboed :)
ss-rotel, can u post pics :)
I highly rate the Tanabe DF210 springs. Pictures of it when I still had my Jazz.

Lowest JDM spring with one of the hardest spring rates you could get.
