I'm torn between the two. Debating if I should get Vorsteiner hood or KW V2's. Right now my car is running on H&R springs, coils would be nice and more comfortable. Also, I think it would look pretty dope slammed with comfort.On the other hand, a hood looks sexy as hell. My drop right now looks decent so I'm leaning more towards the hood. Help me out yalllll!


Vorsteiner Hood


KW V2's

Do coils Uzz.

Your car is already lowered. You're not going to feel that much different switching to coilovers. They're overkill for a street car. Get the hood.

Haha So I was at the shop yesterday and the peer pressure is crazy. Almost got both, still deciding what I want but I think I'm leaning more towards the coils. Thanks again guys for your input.

James,

I have to agree with tony on this one. Coilover is nice but unless you're going to use the full potential of the coilover, it will be just a waste of money. i will go with the hood because the hood completes your car.

or better get both... Problem Solved
