If you got the cash and are after handling improvements aswell and want adjustable height go the coilovers if you have a budget and just want a decent drop on the car and still retain the stock-like handling get some decent springs with shocks
bear in mind if you go down the springs path make sure you get aftermarket shocks to suit or else the lowering springs will eventually **** up the oem shocks after time
x2. really comes down to how much money you are willing to spend..
i have read a couple of other thread and i have 2 choice of coilovers
b.c. racing coilovers or kings coilovers
what have you guys installed ? and what you guys think about it
also i dun want the car to be too bouncy while going through speedbumps
if you get some coils on there it will be very stiff and the car will be very sensitive with bumps but the handling will be top notch and adjustable height,
i think you should go springs and shocks if your more after that oem-ride thats less bumpy and will feel stock, if you hit some coils on there your going to have to take bumps, potholes, shitty roads 10 times slower to avoid that very awkward bump
quoted from jaxquickfitz for 660ish wif kings spring
got any idea how much i should drop if i just want it balanced or a little bit lower
660 for just kingsprings, any shocks and labour on that?
the drop wouldn't be huge 1.5" ish but looks way more then that when its installed will look heaps better then stock
660 just for springs.
shocks would be about another 900 to 1100
660 is only springs n labour
do you guys know any gd place to go
if you're going to be spending that much then why don't you just opt for some damper + height adjustable coilovers as you will be buying shocks somewhere down the track which will add up to a similar price of some decent coilovers..
yeah might aswell try find some 2nd hand coils or s&s combos on the forums or somewhere, not many people would be satisfied paying 660 for just springs.. they must be top of the range springs but if its coming from jaxquickfit i cant really see that being the case haha
just curious do you know what brand springs they were trying to sell you?
just asked them coz i was der getting new tyres
u guys know anywhere to go ?
says above king springsQuote:

better to save for a set than spend 660 bucks for shit king springs
its king springs dat they are selling
oh my bad there got confused between similar posts :) and x2 save for some decent coils in the end it will be worth it !
Lan said it.. + the additional amount you'd end up spending on new shocks sooner or later.Quote:

at the end of the day it's your choice. but yeah, i'd go coilovers
looking for them now
thanks
have a look at BC Racing coilovers if u want some nice budget coilovers
yup asking wholesalessuspensions atm
waiting on reply
Br series i shoudl go for right ?
i'm assuming you're not planning on tracking much/at all, so they should be fine
BUDDY CLUB N+ DAMPER FULL COILOVERS ACURA RSX 02-06 DC5

what you guys think of this one
how much would it cost to get coilovers installed?
i m asking bennjamin on this forum if he can do it
sorry to hijack. if all im after is to lower, but ride comfort is the most important thing. Would aftermarket shock + spring combo be the choice? as I've heard, even the softest settings on coilovers arent as comfy as shocks & springs.
