    Hey guys a couple months I redid all my suspension including struts and springs. As of today I've been threw 4 different sets of springs trying to get the correct ride height i want. Point being I am frustrated and done with struts and springs and decided to just buy some coilovers like I should have done the first time.
    So my question is since I don't know a great deal about them as far as I know zzp and intense are the only ones that make our coilovers? I am also assuming zzp coilovers are the best option since they are made by BC and i think their "full coilovers" as opposed to intenses " slip over design" also price wise zzp has them for the same price as intenses coilover setup using crap gr2 struts. If you got the agx strut option it would cost nearly 300$ more then the bc coilovers. So any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated. I would also consider making them myself if someone with experience on that could chime in with pricing and difficulty of diy coilovers. Thanks for all your advice and opinions guys!

    Drive on the springs for more than 5 miles, they might get to where you want them. Could take well over 5,000 miles to fully settle new springs.

    Ya I know, the springs were used when I got them though so besides maybe moving around in their seats I don't think there's going to be any drastic change. I would also love to get coilovers, I just didn't want to invest all the money but considering I've spent probably 2/3 the price of them on new struts and 3 different kinds of springs, it seems like a good idea now.
