in a general sense, obviously coilovers... they are the same as struts and springs plus damping, height, and usually camber adjustment... so for DD you can leave it higher up with a low damping rate, and for show or racing or w/e you can lower it and increase the damping rates.

 

Honestly there isn't one that's "better" for daily driving... It's really just personal preference.

 

personal preference.

I had to give up my coilovers because of the roads I started driving.

I eventually went with the koni struts and eibach kit, it was better but still rough.

so i went with koni + megan springs. a little better, but ...I really needed something very comfortable.

Now I am on OEM struts with ark springs. feels awesome, but I cannot take corners as I use to.

 

if your not tracking it coilovers are really overkill

 

Not unless you want to be low ^ :3_chubby:

 

It is about personal preference but here is some food for thought.
I think coilovers are a better choice over all due to the adjustability as long as you dont mind a little extra work to dial them in. It also depends what spring and stut combo you are comparing with what coilovers. I understand that some coilovers are more stiff for track; my megan coils are street the series and are meant for street and light track use. They have been on for a year and a half and I find them very comfortable for DD and are set to a damping level close to the feel of OEM but still give me the stance i like + the increased handling. You cant get that kind of adjustability out of a set of springs and struts.

 

Speak for yourself.

Not to mention this thread is nothing more than "chit chat" and circular discussion.

Alright so getting back to the question. For DD it would probably be easiest for strut and spring. Don t have to worry about adjusting them. A small drop (eibach sportline) won t cause any issues with driving over bumps/snow. If your car has some miles on it putting some fresh springs and struts is nice. I did the eibach proline with kyb struts and the struts couldn t handle that big of drop but I definatly didn t have any issues scraping the bottom of my car as listed above :S. As for coilovers (which I am now on) I enjoy them much more. I don t find they are any more soft and best of all I have no bounce. I can t speak for guys who are on Koni struts but I hear they still bounce. But once you go Koni with springs your 800+$ so your in coilover range. DD looking for a bit more? Go spring Strut
