Are there any decent ones for cheap. Old cliche.. I want good for cheap. Doesn't everyone?
allot of people have JOM coilovers.
but just remember you get what you pay for. your not going to get quality with cheap. and if you ask me thats just stupid and dangerous.

So i'm better off buying something decent so i don't sacrifice ride quality? Any other mods you can recommend?
I would recommend gettin a decent pair of lowering springs. They give u a good drop. Bout 3 or 4 centimeters.
Coilovers give u more but chances r u wnt b able 2 load ur car without it rubbing.

No wrong, coil overs are adjustable so you can have it to what height you want

Will lowering springs give you a harsher ride quality or not? Or put extra pressure on the shocks?

i know they are adjustable and i know u can pick ur own hight but the more u drop the more chances of rubbing. if u take ur car past 4 centermeters then ull constantly have to watch ur load for risk of rubbing.
so therefor i recomend a good set of springs instead
If you are a bad driver you have to watch otherwise no problem!i know they are adjustable and i know u can pick ur own hight but the more u drop the more chances of rubbing. if u take ur car past 4 centermeters then ull constantly have to watch ur load for risk of rubbing.

Coilovers are better, adjustable, mostly better quality and will give a better ride overall.
Lowering springs are cheap and nasty you should really buy everything, springs, shock absorbers and all other bits, but that's costly. So coil overs are the thing to buy if you don't like the drop you can change it according to your preference
Both
if u get a decent pair somethin like eibach then the ride will b ok.
u actually wud b better off with a stiffer ride than a soft one anyway.
these are designed to work with your existing shocks :slayer:

Think i'd maybe go for coilovers over lowering spring to be honest, seems a more expensive way of doing it but i think i'd be safer with my shocks. Especially if my shocks are a bit worn as it is, not knowing whether they've been changed before after 78000 miles
A stiffer ride would make your springs and shocks be under constant strain and much more prone to breaking, a softer ride shows you it's working, a stiffer ride is probably better in a full on race car not a Fiat on England's amazing quality roadsif u get a decent pair somethin like eibach then the ride will b ok.

Purposely picking out most expensive ones? Can easily get some for a quarter of the price which are good quality

So, what's a reasonable price for a decent set of coilovers?
