My problem with springs is that they always seem to be just a little off as far as the perfect drop. Once they are in that is it, they are not adjustable. One of the other problems is that if you switch springs eventually your struts will go bad and that can get expensive.

Coilover’s solve these problems giving you a fully adjustable suspension with built in upgraded struts. Once installed you can set the height of each individual corner so that you can get the perfect drop all around. Some coilovers also allow you to adjust the dampening on the struts so you can fine tune the ride stiffness. This allows you to be able to adjust your suspension to the optimal setting for multiple driving situations. If you were so inclined you could go out and have your car corner balanced.

So many people get a new ride and the first thing they do is go out and get rims, forgetting the drop. The drop on a car is so important. You could have an the best kit and super wide 3 piece rims but if you are 4×4ing it, it doesn’t matter.

There are really 3 ways to drop a car like the M45. You have springs, coilovers and air. This is one of those situations where you are pretty much stuck going to Japan for parts on the 2003 M45. I’ll break it down for everyone here.
