Default Lowering Springs Vs. Coilovers

Lowering Springs vs. Coilovers -

Which will give the best ride quality for everyday driving. Does anyone have experience with Eibach or Comptech adjustable springs?

I would like to lower my car 1", but don't want the ride to get too harsh....

Well i just put on JIC Magic coilovers and i love them. I would recommend going with the coilovers over just springs.

the general concensus (and perhaps fact) is to go coilovers if you have the dinero. I have comptech adjustable springs on mine and love them. But I am riding on stock shocks. I am going to do it "right" when i have the money and go full coilover set.

it really depends on your money situation and what you care more about.

a coil "over" a shock or strut. They come together as a matched set, whereas buying, say, an eibach spring and a koni, would come close to having specs that would compliment each other, but not as good as a coilover, where when you would like to adjust the harshneess or height of the car, you would still retain the same properties of spring rates and dampening force. I try.
