Need help what should i do....
Hey I'm stuck between getting springs and struts or coilovers. What would you do? I'm a daily driver but always enjoy back road drives and some autocross.

It depends. There are a few coilover set-ups that aren't too harsh. Ride along with someone that has the BC set-up. Check out the coilover spectrum. That'll help.

i have AGXs and Eibachs. I got 1st at a rallyX with them, i do AutoX's and beat 2/3 the suby field usually.
they can go super soft, softer than stock it feels like for rally, then they tighten up pretty nice for autoX.
and they are cheaper

I'll partially agree with you, Kyle, on the cost thing.
Shocks and springs are slightly cheaper than the entry level coilovers. If you you get shocks, springs, and top hats, you'll probably spend about the same as an entry coilover kit. Keep in mind that Coilovers usually come with front camber plates. It really depends on what you are doing. If you are only doing occasional events, you are better off getting shocks and springs. They actually have a decent warranty, not to mention, they'll have a more pleasant ride. If you are planning to do a lot of auto-x and track events, go with coilovers, but beware that they'll blow at some point. More often than shocks and springs, and keep in mind that coilovers are only warrantied for a year. Once they are gone, guess who is paying for the rebuild.
