If you want to maintain the ride and handling skip the lowering springs and save up for coil overs. The lowering springs are progressive and will change the way your car rides and handles, making it kinda' mushy or spongy, and very different from the linear response of the Nismo springs. I've had both and there is no comparison between lowering springs and coil overs - not even close.

I had swifts and it was a harsh ride. Put tein street flex and it is a fantastic ride. Coils would be a lot better investment

When oh when will the cheaper option ever be the better one?? Seriously though, Thanks for the feedback. ![]() Other than the cost and other suspension component upgrades, plus alignment(s) etc. that will be needed, is there a downside to switching to coil overs, Such as squeaks or rattles or overall system “delicacy” ? In my mind a coil over system is designed for the track where squeaks and bushing noise is not a primary concern and potholes and speed bumps don’t exist. This is a fairly subjective question, but can a decent(+) coil over system handle street driving? |
