Springs vs Coilovers

[Super-DA9]

Nice! pretty sure thats the same kg ratings as N+ yeah? I have N+ and they have a good range of adjustability for daily use and mountain runs

i had a 2.5 inch drop on stock shocks. car got written off, but the shocks held up perfectly fine. had them on there for over 2 years

u want looks go cheap with springs


if u want it for performance go coilovers


simple

So if I just put in some King Springs its going to be an annoying ride? Any recommendations for coilovers that'll give me control on how much I lower it? As mentioned previously want it just above the tyres.

EDIT: and technically performance isn't #1 on my list, can't get passed 70km/hr to and from work plus I don't use it on a track.

any adjustable coilovers in ur budget will be good

Coilovers is a bitch man. Keep having to adjust it a few mm, wheels on, car down, measure, car up, wheels off, adjust, repeat. Imagine doing that 50 times a day. Drives you mental, especially if your ground isn't even

[IDV8]

Why do you need to adjust it ..? My only issue is clearing speed bumps, have to cross about 3 or 4 each time I go out or come home

[charliebrown]

to get all 4 sides the exact height you want it. you need to set a height, test drive it over all kinds of roads, bumps etc. if it scrubs, raise it. if it doesn't, go lower. its an endless process -_-

I never knew lowering my car an inch would be so complicated.. lmao

dont listen to cb.

Why an inch man, not even noticable. But you do know the DC5 has some ****ed up suspension shit and you need inverted tie rods if you wanna drop a decent amount without shortening the lifespan of your steering rack. Also i think you can't align your car properly or something as well.

An inch would be noticeable on mine .. any lower and I'll be scraping speed humps atleast 10 times a day which I'm not going to let happen ....

Have seen other DC5 owners with these, any thoughts? Don't really want to spend more $$, its hard enough comparing them to $300 springs.
