I was talking about corner weighting/balancing the car. It sounds like a good set of springs is right for your goals. Good luck.

If I just wanted to lower my ride by a bit like an inch and I don't track it. The car is a DD. I live in Canada so it snows like a bi#$% in the winter what is the better option?
HKS coilovers
or springs with bilstein combo
or just a set of springs?

The reason I am putting in HKS coilovers is because of price. Let's say I can get the coilovers installed for $900
If I buy springs and bilstein with install, it would be close to $900 as well
or I can just buy springs and it'll cost like $500

what would be my best option?
Thanks so much!

i would say goin with spring (swift,gtworx)/bilstein combo. i am runnin that now and had my bilsteins revalved to match my swifts. the ride is great, not to boucny at all, lowered the car a lil but didnt slam it and got an alignment to finish. u can pick up a set of springs for around 300 and try and find a set of used bilsteins and have them revalved. i had mine done for 300 a set. the reason i went with springs is because i am not sure what spring rates i would use in my coil setup and how low i would want the car to be along with all the adjustin that would need to be done so i chose springs so that was done for me at this moment in time....just my opinion
