can i say, BULLSHIT

sorry but i can't help it because right people read your post and learn crap that "oh king springs are better because his mechanic said so".

Context is whats required here....

"I wanna lower my car an inch, i don't track it and i'm not really keen on spending heaps of money"

"OK, just put springs in it then"

That sounds better now :thumbsup:

I'm just saying what I was told by a mechanic, relax yourself you'll live longer :cool:

get coilovers for the baller factor. flatter your vanity knowing you have $8000 ohlins coils shipped straight from japan

Apparently the jdm Ohlins are made under license and inferior to the swedish Ohlins.

I find it hard to believe that jdm can be inferior to anything

im in the same situation, undecided about coilovers due to the uncomfort, its a daily and will never see a track - maybe for laughs..

but anyway, im running standard suspension in my eg sedan, shocks are probably gone and spings are probably sagged, but looking for an upgrade..

one issue i have is the car scrapes on everything when someone is in the back, i have 17's on and want to stop the scrubbing - main reason for an upgrade.

whats your thoughts of coilover sleeves? same price as new lowered springs and with the sleeves i get to adjust the height

You'll have the same problems. Do it right this time, you can use your current lowered springs but you need shocks which match the lowered travel range. Coilover sleeves are crap in my opinion.

im not running lowered anything lol, all standard..

what do you rekon i do?
