Need info, coilovers,springs and vmr wheels
I am planning to get VMR wheels, but looking into coilovers...
Which are the best set up for simple drop (not too aggressive) but quality made for the east coast snow/salt and poor road conditions like potholes. I do not want to beat up my kidneys but yet have the nice appearance of a drop for the 19" VMR wheels. I do have occasional long drives and prefer comfortable driving. Any suggestions? |

Do you want to be able to adjust rebound and dampening? If not then a set of shock and springs should be fine...If you want a little more height adjust-ability then get a basic set of coilovers such as the KW V1. Anything more than that is overkill if you just wanna lower your car. Also if you choose to opt for the height adjustable coilovers, you can't just lower and raise the car as you please. You also need an alignment each time you do so.

Thanks, my concern is more on ride quality due to road conditions (pot holes) and snow but also maintain a comfortable ride... so I wasn't sure if coilovers, shocks/springs are the better answer besides a drop. If that helps????
