I think the advantage to coilovers is the range of adjustability. The shock/strut (whatever you call it) travel in a coilover will never change regardless of how low you drop the car. However, with springs you limit the travel of the shock because you just lost the travel to the drop. Drop 1.5", you lost 1.5" of travel on the shock. My Pedders are set up now for a nice highway drive. But a few clicks of the bound/rebound dials and it's a race car!
ya that makes sense, and coilovers are for sure on my list in the future along with other suspension mods. its a must have with a full suspension setup. but i think i will be happy with springs and sways for a few years.
