springs or coilovers?

kielbasa16

I see this thread hasnt gotten any responses, probably because most of those answers can be found by searching.

Yes, springs can provide a nice drop for your ride, but are not adjustable. They are also significantly cheaper which appeals to most people whose cars only see the street.
Coilovers give the owner more flexibility, generally are considered of better quality, and are better for track applications. For these reasons they are also more expensive.

What I have heard outside the forum is that after a few years, springs alone can crap out on you. That is what I am wondering about - longevity. If I can purchase some Swift springs, get the desired drop, and not have to replace or fix anything for years, then I'm sold (as my car doesnt see the track). But if they will crap out on me in a year or two, then I'd prefer to make the investment in some quality coilovers.

Please fill me and others in.

heya kielbasa,

I have the Swift springs, and when you put the stock and swift spring next to each other...the swift visibly is a much beefier spring. So, using your logic, than i would suspect the stock spring would "crap out" much sooner.

But seriously, i think it's phsyically impossible for there to be any type of malfunction...it's a spring made of strong metal after all! It's not going to melt.

Plus, I think by the time they do start to "crap out", we'll be in another car...
