dude, If your going to be autocrossing and racing i suggest you get coilovers but if you just want the car to be dropped for looks go with the springs. no reason to spend 1 to 2k to drive around town in traffic

DING DING DING!!! Tell him what he's won johnny!

Like i said
i Recomend Billstein PSS
Ofcourse the PSS9 are by far better than the PSS for their 9 way adjustable settings. I recomended PSS cause homie dosnt sound like he is going all out on tracking the car or exposing it to situations that will bring out the full use in the PSS9 (Although driving in MIAMI is like driving an AUTO X everyday )

once again like i said
It all depends on what your shooting for, Track, Drag, etcc....

Just so you know, if you replace the springs, you will need to replace the shocks in less than a year. keeping that in mind, save your dough and buy coilovers.

i've had the espelier asd(the blue ones) on my car for about 30k miles, and they were on 2 other cars before mine with the same struts, i'd say about 20k miles between the 2 of them, and i absolutely love them, they are a great ride and a perfect drop,and no blown struts yet after about 50k miles

Hey Brudda Max.....

The PSSs are a fixed height. Does this mean:

If I for example want to do a 1.5 " drop, I can set it at 1.5" and forget it. OR...

Does fixed mean it comes with a only one FIXED height from the factory and that's all you get?

Curious minds want to know.....
