    Coilovers

    I have never messed with coilovers and want to know if the coilovers will replace the springs on the front struts?

    depends on what u are calling "coilovers". there are adjustable springs that are on a threaded sleeve with a perch that screws up and down to adjust ride height... alot of people call these coilovers but they are just adjustable springs. true coilovers are an adjustable spring and matched threaded (ususally short body) damper (so it would replace both the spring and damper).


    adjustable springs reffered to by some as coilovers


    true coilovers

    those are adjustbale coils. u will need new dampers pretty soon as those will blow your stock shocks pretty quickly. suggestion KYB AGX or scarp the whole setup and get real coilovers which have short body dampers.

    Well I got to purchase new struts and shocks anyway after 120k I think it is time but I already purchased that set. So I will wait awhile till I buy the real things. Is there a company your prefer, I seen Megan's and they are expensive as hell.

    I have TEIN SS-P. they are more expensive than the MEGAN's so my recommendations probably won't fit your budget.
