would buying a set of springs and a set of shocks be just as good as buying coilovers?? im not trying to have an extreme drop on my car, just something moderate. and i felt that by doing it this way, it would be cheaper. would those springs wear out my shocks just as fast as if i were to put them on my stock shocks??

bilstein struts and swift springs are a good combo. great ride and not an insain drop.

I have Swift Sport springs and I love them. They are a + for handling and drop the car just enough.

im pretty sure id rather do this instead of buying coilovers. im basicly getting everything the same as coilovers except adjustable ride height, correct??

well you wont get the adj ride high or the damp and stiffness adj. but if your not in need of all the adj then why have them. i always think of it as one more thing i will just mess up.

Faster, yes. A lot faster? I don't really think so.
