Help me decide

Trying to decide between getting the eibach sportline springs which give a sweet drop or spending the $$$ and just go with bc racing coils! Trying to get it right the first time lol! Any advice? Thanks

This is subjective but IMO, coilovers = perfect drop. For me, I knew I wouldn't be satisfied with just doing springs. I wanted to get the right look/stance and that meant multiple times tweaking the coils. I still have to do a final adjustment since I installed this last set

a lot of people who do springs first like it initially but then want it lower, so they end up getting coils anyway. Plus if you only get springs your shocks will be shot in no time therefore more $$, and springs are not adjustable

Based on the "Trying to get it right the first time" comment you should get coils. Multiple adjustments for you to pick from, whereas springs give you one option. If you don't like it you're stuck with it or have to start all over again.

Coil FTW!!! ^ like others have said above..

I started with the sportlines, its was coo man, it dropped it really low. But just adding springs, will get your shocks shot!..

After my ride got all bouncy, I went ahead and spent the big bucks on coils.

Live and Learn...

Great advice guys! I'm gonna go with coils for sure! Seems like with springs you have to spend the money for new shocks and camber kits anyways right

you might need a camber kit with coils depending on your drop and the wheels your running

For sure you'll need a camber kit for front and rear. I have BC racing coilovers on my x and I drove from Utah to California and back without the camber kit and totally smoked my rear tires. They were bald.
