      If you get a full coilover it will come with the spring assembly AND a strut assembly build for that usage. I vote going for a full coilover. You'll be much happier, and they'll be that much better. Remember, coilovers are height adjustable, and some even have adjustable dampening, etc.

      At first I did it for fun, then I realized I made the investment and had to do it!

        Tony is right. I put just springs in my car and while it did help with stance and a little with handling, It's overall ride quality sucks. And it DID wipe out the stock struts along with the front mounts as well. If given the choice again, I'd go full coilover.

          i had tokico illumina struts and H & R springs on my eclipse and it rode really good...not to bumpy either....but it was realllly low.

          coilovers would be your best bet if you got the money.

            K-sport makes 36 way adjustable coilovers for $650 shipped. Pm me if you want the website, that is in my opion the best bang for your buck.

                  The cost for struts + springs will be almost the same as coilovers...

                    illuminas are about 350 i beleive...and springs can be had for 150-200 or around there so....your looking at about 550 total...or you could get coilovers for 650+
