    Question [CU2] best lowering springs or coilovers

    Hey guys, I want to improve handling of my car but without much change to comfort. I am not talking about handling on a track, just your normal corners and roundabouts. The lowering of the car is not as an important aspect however I don't want the car that low as it is a daily; a drop of 10 -20mm should be alright.The stock cu2 feels like it's going out of control even if I go a little bit faster around corners.

    Which ones have you guys used and what are your thoughts? I am thinking that lowering springs is probably my best option here since I am after a balance of comfort and handling but any input is greatly appreciated!

    What tires are you running?

    Bang for buck, tire upgrade better than suspension imo.

    After tires, upgrade swaybars.

    You want better handling with no compromise on comfort. Swaybars is best bet after tires.

    Spring and shock will also improve handling but be detrimental to comfort

    I just put king lows on my car 30mm drop. Handles little better but rough ride.

    Bilstein shocks with Eibach springs.This'll transform your car while not greatly affecting the ride.

    tein ss for stock like handling and adjustments.

    Bump up the tyre pressure to about 38psi, its free and makes a big difference in handling beacuse the stock pressures are for comfort.

    Lowering springs without matching shocks will compromise the handling.

    any reason why you would pick the bars over tyres first??


    tyres are first contact to the road


    why would u upgrade those later?
