BC coilovers or KYV GRII with Eibach prokit

[wouc89]

Hey Guys,

Just installed my rx8 rims on my car. Now I need a drop of about 1.3''-1.5''. I was thinking BC coilovers or Shocks and springs!! Keep in mind that I want to use my car during the winter. What do u guys recommend? and what do you think of each in terms of durability, performance and price...
this is what it looks like : :)

If you don't plan on adjusting the height then koni yellows + prokits

Shocks springs
do you prefer from a personnal experience????

Coilovers!!!!!! the BC's are awesome. Haven't had a problem with them. Shock/springs combo can only do so much. But i guess this really depends on your budget, they are both around the same price, coilovers would probably be $200-300 more...

Yeah! I personally wanted to get the BC. prefer spending more now then double later. lower it during the summer and stock height in the winter. How long have u been rolling on BC coilovers and whats the winter driving like?

No need to lift it for the winter. Unless you're soft. ;)

Honestly at the height you want coils are overkill.

Overkill!! hum!!! is that a good or bad thing? No one seems to answer my question about winter driving though!!

[Dave_The_BMXER]

Well.. if you ever want to go lower it's fine. But if you don't want over pro kit drop then why go with coils? Save the cash?

I drove this winter on my coils all the way down (lower than in my sig) and I was fine.

I'm in the same boat too tryin to decide Springs coils. Would like about a 1-1/2 to a 1-3/4 drop then bring it back up for the winter. Anyone know how high coilovers get? I couldn't find anything on it, but I assume not quite back up to stock height. Definitely want it up for London winters :(

[rajin929]

getting coilovers to go 'up and down' should not be the main reason why you want them.

I"m with Dave_The_BMXER on this, just dump yer ish and drive.
