coilover question

Post by johnnyb »

I understand that the Tokico ZX2 struts are good for lowering springs. My question is, can coilover be used instead of springs?<p>Not too sure if the spring rate changes or not and affects the struts. Or maybe what combination strut/coilover works good.

This question gets asked everyday it seems. Protoge put up a listing and recommendation for struts to use with coilover. Can one of the mods put this in the faq?
