Question what suspension setup

i'm debating between lowering springs or coilovers....

Really.... 240's handle excellent stock with some sticky tires..... so what i'm looking for is a lower stance with a nice wheel gap....
I want to go with coilovers so i can fine tune it the way i want but the price for a good setup is killin me..
so i'm debating between coilovers or just lowering springs etc...
either way ( springs or coilovers ) my 240 is going to handle better after the upgrade so im not worried about that..... I'm just looking for a reasonable price for a suspension setup
I'm leaning towards springs because of the price though it will be hard to judge the estimated drop in the stance to get my desired wheel gap..... both have there pros and cons......
What is your guys opinions??

Re: what suspension setup

big diffrence between coilovers and just springs....youll atleast need shocks to go along with the springs

Re: what suspension setup

the 240 handles well, but not perfectly.

a coilover setup is well worth the 1k price tag in my opinion. spring/shock is still fine, but id spend the extra cheddar for the extra performance.

its all up to your budget

u get what u pay for

500 for spring shock is hella good, but then spend twice and get (almost) twice the performance
