Coilies or shocks and springs?

[ConradJellyfish]

The Suspension on my biza is shot so going to get some new suspension. Trouble is im not sure what to go for. Theres some shocking roads around me and its quite high to get into my work car park.

I Want the ride to be comfortable but good to sling round some corners and im guna go bigger power soon too.

Budget coilies like hot tuning or ?

What Do you reckon? Could you give me an example, like what you running, how much they cost, how they perfom etc and how they warn etc.

Depends what you want really mate, springs and shocks would be good unless you want them adjustable... im running weitec coilovers but theyre only adjustable at front. really impressed with them.. £300ish brilliant quality, much better handling and great ride quality. good alrounders, but a problem if you want rear adjustability.

buy a decent spring / shock setup and you will be laughing.... coilovers are great for people who want to slam their cars, but unless they are the dogs nuts and are set up correctly coilovers can make your can handle ALOT worse.

for your price range deffo get springs / shocks with a slight drop on them.

I've got to agree with Adam and if you want it comfortable then go for a good springs and shocks kit.

Damian. im not just talking about comfort, im also talking about performance.

there is a MASSIVE thread HERE, on the 'obsession' with coliovers and why people chose coilovers or springs and shocks.

That's what i was meaning Adam, that's why I also said 'and if you want it comfortable'.
