No, no, no. Coilovers come with the shocks in them coil goes over the shock and you get...coilovers! (not the rear ones thou)

haha thanks, so because i prob need new shocks also, coilovers could work out cheaper then getting both new springs and shocks? specially if i went hte hottunning option

This is true, although it depends how you want your ride to feel. As I said I'm not actually on coilovers, I'm on a Koni/eibach shock-spring setup and I prefer that to the hottuning ride. You probably will pay more for a decent shock and spring setup than a simple coilover, although if you payed a bit extra and went for a decent COILOVER setup, you'll be well chuffed

yeah, as usual, i want the lowest height for less $$ haha. ride is still important to me, but thinking i could give this up for being low.

So again, if i went coilovers (hottunning to be exact) what else would i be looking at doing to the car? Is there anything i have to do, or really should be doing to handle the drop? or can it cope as is?

For the price, the Hottuning coilovers seem an excellent option.

I recently looked at suspension options for my Bora V6 4Motion. Unfortunately the Hottuning coilovers don't fit on the 4Motion version of the Bora, but I managed to pick up a set of K-Sport coilovers instead (which should be fitted shortly).

I looked at several strut and spring replacement options, and found that a semi-decent setup (Koni based) was about $1,400 before fitting.

Yeah thats what im thinking, i can get 30mm lower eibach springs for cheap, but if i put them in and find i need new shocks id be looking $600+ from my research. and then id be equal cost to the hottunning coilovers and id be at whatever hieght i wish not stuck at 30mm.

Be keen to hear how you find you K-sports!

Lowered springs on some uprated shocks should be alrite!

Could get some King springs and Koni shocks im sure for a very good price!

Whats price would i be looking at do you know?

think kings have bn the most loved and hated springs ever!

does anyone know of any 2lt boras that have been lowered in both springs/coilovers? i guess its fair enough to say this brand is best or this combo wont work, but im sure its going to make a big difference depending what car they are on
