Coilovers would definitely be an easier install but springs arent all that bad, i did all 4 of mine in like 4 hours with a shitty spring compressor.
but still with that being said i wish i went with coilovers because everyone still tells me to lower my car cause the springs didnt do shit.

Intrax springs give a nice drop. I prefer the Intrax ride over coilovers. I'm pretty sure the Intrax are no longer produced for the 3/S so they are very hard to come by.
The front springs aren't too bad to change. The rear springs are more of a bitch to change though.
With about any na and a decent drop you need adjustable camber and toe arms.
I'm probably going to go with coilovers though. Because if all I really have to do is unbolt a couple of bolts and then bolt them on, that sounds alot better than taking my shocks off, then taking them apart, fucking with the springs, etc. And I really don't want to jack with putting springs on my old, worn shocks, just to have them bust in a month or two, and then have to replace the shocks anyway. By that time I will have spent more than what the coilovers cost, had a way harder time installing them, and then not even have the car lowered that much. if I buy Megan coilovers, I will have a low, solid feeling ride right? Am I on track here or way off?
