coilovers vs kyb and springs

I can't decide whether to go coilovers (Tein) or the combo. I am not interested in autocross and drive the car as "a daily driver". Also, if combo is recommended, should i wait till my stock shocks to go or just replace them now.


thanks

no autocross? Your simple answer repeated by the experts around here would be to go with the KYB + springs combo.

combo. You can probably wait on the struts, but would be easier to do them all at once......instead of doing the same job two times in the future.

i wouldnt go with coilovers again, its the worst ride i ever had on a car. for me springs are the best and when your stock struts go then you can get the KYBs.

Stock setup FTW. Don't fix what isn't broken. If you had to change I would find a set of Bilsteins off an MR.

No Autox? You are missing out the best fun ever...

Street setup with lowering spring is good enough. Some coilover can have pretty harsh spring rates and you will definitely lose the comfort in the ride. Then again if you autox, all the harsh ride feeling can be forgotten.
