What's up all, newbie to the site here..:) Only been here for about 20 minutes and already got a question. I have a 2002 p5 and I've seen a lot of threads about lowering springs and coilovers. I myself am leaning towards the coils. Now, I've seen the discussions about "Tien SS vs Jic -Magic-" and then some others about people with skunk2's or gc's. What I really noticed is that there's a big price gap between these coils. Ever since I got the car, the first thing i wanted to do was lower it. What I want to know is if it is worth about 1k more for the Jics? Also, What do you guys think about gc? I've almost ruled out skunk2s because of some bad ratings...but I don't really have any first hand experience with any of them. My budget is pretty much tight right now..(college kid)..and if I could, I'd want to save as much money as possible. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks guys.
 
if i was to do it, id save for the jic's, imo they are the best for your money.
 
k cool. thanks derrick. but why? better ride? I'm just a daily driver..no autoxing here.. i guess i'm thinkin about gc's. it'd save me some money and I haven't heard any complaints about them..

more help guys..:confused:

with the jics.. does anyone know if that fixes the tab problem so you can put a rear sway bar on the car? -=)
 
well, if you are just driving it as a daily, then id say go ahead and get the gc's
