Spring or coilovers
Thursday, December 16, 2004 5:37 PM
Just want to know what has better "Handleing" coli overs or springs.

I guess it would depend on what makes but just on average. for example Skunk2 coilovers vs. eibach sportline springs.........and are the sprortlines better or worse then the pro kits?

Do some reading in the suspension forum.

No matter what, the handling is going to depend on more than just your spring solution. The dampers play a huge roll here.

And Skunk2 coilovers are complete garbage and not designed for our cars. If that's your frame of reference, then the Sportlines are far and away the better choice.

Of course, a proper set of coilovers will handle exactly the way you want them to.

Go do some reading.

For all around springs are best. Coil over are good or road coarse. Springs are less hassel than coil overs.

coil overs are a more harsh ride unless you got an aftermarket strut to go with them.

Coilovers are a more harsh ride no matter what strut you put with them. Dampers control bounce, not harshness. Harshness is more dependant on the spring rates. Spring rates and travel will determine how much of the impacts are absorbed by the spring and how much is transferred to the body of the car (and it's occupants). Dampers control how much the springs rebound and bouce after that impact.
