No need for coilovers when you know you are going to set them at one height and then never change that again. Ride height can be adjusted a lot more ways than with a spring. > > i know a number of dudes who swear buy nothing but a set of bilstiens or koni yellows and a decent swift spring combo which can be had for about half the price of a decent refurbishable coilover and can be refurbished themselves This. If you’re not using all the features a coilover gets you, you can save a bunch of money, get decent springs on struts/shocks, and put the change into something that you’ll actually use. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/help-me-decide-springs-vs-coilovers/263495)._
