Lowering

Would springs be good enough, or should I get the complete coilovers? Not to sure which brands to look into. I was thinking B&G or H&R for the springs. If coilovers, what do you guys recommend?

I currently have the Tein s-tech master springs on my car, and it has lowered the stance aprx. 1.5" up front, and 2" in the rear... great for my daily driver, and hard cornering.... they cost me around $120 shipped.... ebay of course.

the Tein coilovers would be the # 1 choice, but they're VERY pricey.. a new set gonna run $1100.00 or more. but they are adjustable...

I simply have the H&R springs and 4-way KYB struts on both cars.
No complaints here

Tein makes a great coilover. Their springs plus some sort of adjustable shock/strut will save you a lot of money and will still give you great handling (like JekylandHyde said).

i would hardly call TEIN as the best manufacturer of coilovers....i think that they are prolly the cheapest ones out there....the perches and springs tend to rust out all the time....and i've seen this happen on cars that aren't even winter driven....for the every day driver...a nice set of springs ( i use H&R) and some adjustable shocks would prolly be the cheapest and best route to go....coilovers are great if your into the car show scene or do some serious track time in your car...
