Be racing coilovers or lowering springs

Wes12 · 01-12-2021, 08:09 AM

I can’t decide if I wanna spend the extra money on coilovers or not what do you guys think?

Coilovers will always be the better option IMO. A lot of people seem to like the BC's. I ran them on my old SRT-4 and NA Miata for a long time, zero issues.

I decided to give Silvers a shot this time with the SS, zero complaints.

depends on what your goals are...

generally speaking; cheap coilovers are cheap for a reason and you dont really want to add a lowering spring without also changing your struts/shocks.

Coilovers solve a number of cornering performance issues over oem. However, the ride is quite harsh for the street. If you drive on fairly smooth pavement the majority of the time it's not nearly as noticeable.
