shocks and springs unless you’re gonna track it. coils aren’t worth the investment unless you actually make proper use of them. ---

it all depends what you want with your suspension…if you want a stock ride but just want to be cosmetically lower then shock and springs is for you…if you want track performance then go coil overs. ---

> [@rocco"](#): > > reasion why i was thinking coils is so i cant raise it for the winter Coilovers and winter are a crappy combination. I’d go Shock/Spring if you plan on doing a lot of winter driving. ---

Shocks and springs can be fine on the track. My S13 has Tein S-Tech springs and KYB AGX shocks with adjustable dampening. It handles nicely now that I have them set right. And I drive it in the winter and have not had a problem with being too low. ---

Your Answer comes in the form of a quesiton… Do you have a Girlfriend? If yes, Shocks and Springs will help you lower your car, and will help maintain the usage of your car for dates, social events and daily/nightly famale male interaction. If no, Coilovers are your best bet, Great for the track, great for fun roads, ruff but worth every penny! ---
