if you have the money(aprox $1200) and like to be able to adjust everything, true coilovers, if not then lowering springs can be had for $220 or so, although the shocks might not last as long, and the car can feel under-dampened with the stock shocks

coilover sleeves are not recomended by most people

That would be coilover sleaves.

After buying springs and shocks, your going to be around $600-$700.

Are you going to be doing any racing? are you just doing it for shows? does ride comfort matter at all?

If you want coilovers for your Accent, I have some sleeve style coilovers for sale. They don't give the most comfortable ride, but they are adjustable.

Default Re: Coil over or lowering spring!!

I recently installed B&G springs on my 99 Accent and it looks good and the ride hasn't been compromised (except for the occasional clicking from the rear). I was originally going to go with coilover sleeves but my shop showed me a set of them that came off a civic. They were torn to shreds! The top "nut" was ripped off and the 2 adjustable rings (to adjust height) was no longer adjustable. I also failed to mention that when this happened his shocks popped through the hood and he scraped the ground with the bottom of his car and front lip for about 200 feet. The guy ended up buying full coilovers in the end. Make your decision wisely!
