Should i go over for coilover or just lowering springs? how much should i do without rubbing or scratchin the bumper i live in a bump filled town. i also recently put 17 in rims on my car and i constantly have a sound that sounds liek a flat, any recomandations? tire pressure and wheel balance and alignment are good

 

All depends, coilovers like tien or progress will be around 1k. The deliver amazing handling, lowering looks, and usually adjustable. Guarenteed great all around. Lowering springs however, are a differnet story. Basically your putting a softer spring on your stock strut. If you live on a bumpy hill, i sugesst a whole coilover system. I have progress lowering springs on my 05 but i dont have lots of bumps or hills and dont bottom out alot. Tires/wheels really wont make a difference easier

 

1k is a little high, u can get the tein basic system which is a full shock coilover assembly, without shock adjustment, they work good, casue if u live in a bump filled down u can adjust the height accordingly. Springs are not adjustable, and the springs are not as many coils so hence it brings the car down, i personally have tien coil over step up, one of the best stuff on the market, and it rides nice u can check out www.tein.com i think that is the link at least.

 

In a nut shell, get a full coilover system. Mugen, Buddy Club, TEIN, they are all good!
