Default Springs v.s coilovers
wanting to lower my 2000 gsr cant decide between spot springs or coilovers. Opinions would be greatly appreciated. Also what a good name brand to get that isn’t extremely pricey????

skunk2's are good and not expensive.

with coilovers you can raise/lower your car, with springs you have a set height.

I'd say go with coilovers.

Are you lowering it for looks or for handling?

woops. and if you get shocks with the coilovers (like EEK said) it will handle better along with the look that you want. just don't stay with the stock shocks.
