^^lol, yes go with coils. My car is on Eibach pros and Tokico hp blues. Its a nice ride (too much body role imo) and I just found out one of my springs is cracked. Buy coils because 1. They are easier to install 2. You can adjust the ride 3. you can adjust stiffness 4. Most coilovers can be rebuilt for like 200-300 dollars.

I personally was going to get the Megan ez but they were out of stock for 7 days sooo they offered me so c8 sport ssd coilovers instead and of course I said yes. so they will be here on Tuesday.

How is the ride quality on coilovers vs springs? I used to have megan street coilovers on my s14 and that thing rode so stiff and loud, I had to get rid of it.

My BC's ride like a dream compared to my springs on oem struts. I've got them set stiff, but I love the ride, they're on my DD. Like riding on rails. No body roll in comparison and they go low. Like I said, I wish I would've saved my $ and just got coils.

I also say coils, I have the Megan ( ugh i forget, they are red and have a adjustable valvle for compression), any ways, I paid like 850, got them in two days, a few smokes and an hour later, I had them installed, deff not the best, but its not junk, easy adj, easy to install, same goes for BC, Stance, Tein, D2, and many others, go with coils, waaaaay better
