Default Coilovers or springs
Afternoon all, looking at lowering the hawkeye, what's best to go for. It's just for looks only as it will not be going on track. It's completely standard set up and is like a beach buggy. Looking at getting the wheels in gloss black, what do you think.

If its just looks then go with the spring option. You may compromise the ride quality though. In my experience just the spring on its own can give you a suboptimal ride as the damping of the original shocks are not designed with that spring rate. A decent set of coilovers can be suprisingly comfortable with better damping to the associated spring rates.

You'll be catching your front splitter more if you lower it.
