Springs or coilovers. - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Itssrayyxd · 04-01-2013, 06:22 PM

Hey guys!
The wheel spacing is pissing me off so I'm givin into lowering the car. I'm just not sure to go with springs or coils. Of course I'm on a budget depending which one go with. I don't plan to track it anytime soon or at all. This is my daily and only car. I want to lower it about 1.4 inches or so.

For springs, I plan on going with the eibach sportline.

And for coils, I'm not sure which one i want to get. I don really know the difference between each one so if people can give me some input and information on the difference, that would be awesome.

I was wondering if I can get a quote on the eibach sportlines and what's the lowest price for a decent, inexpensive coilovers. All help is appreciated.

Best price I seen for sportlines was from crossoverauto.com they are a vendor here.

I went with bc br coils, i went with fbauto, also a vendor on here, he had 2 sets of bc's ready to go at a great price. I believe there is one set left up for grabs.

Ahhh. How much did you pay for the coilovers?

HATED1 · 04-01-2013, 07:58 PM

He gave me the best deal out of all the vendors I pmmed, you would have to pm him to see if he can get you a good price, as he only had one more left. Do it right the first time and go with coils

. Thank me later!

Oh and it's FBParts, sorry.

what is your goal? just for looks or performance?

will you be tracking your car? or just a street car?

Just for looks. I'm not planning on tracking it since I'm still in high school and college is coming up. No time for that!

Itssrayyxd · 04-02-2013, 12:12 AM

If I want one, my budget is about 1k. I haven't seen any sold for lower than that new.

WolfsFang · 04-02-2013, 12:14 AM

Look into BC BR or stance coils. If you want springs then also look into shocks (koni yellow's) Since you are only going for looks it's really up to you.

Srsly, send fbparts a pm!

If you're just going for looks, then just get some springs and camber bolts, then when your stock struts needs replacement, just go coils (or get koni's) that's what I'm planning to do (coils) since my struts are still pretty much brand new

Hmmmm Im going to see how much the bc coilovers are then I'm gonna calculate how long it'll take to save up that money and go from there.

Itssrayyxd · 04-02-2013, 01:03 AM

Can anyone tell me what's the difference between coils? Like is the price due to brand names?

Also, I don't wanna lower my car and sacrifice ride and control quality.

There is certainly a lot of information on this, however, to make things concise, it all comes down to your price range and what you're really looking for.
