coilovers
 
now im new to coilovers now my only question is on lowering springs the spring is gonna be roughly the same size as your stock springs just a few inches lower, but i just got coilovers and the actual springs are like half the size and the "seller" said they would "most def. fit"....is this how coilovers are supposed to be?

Just make sure you put the coil-overs together properly...99% of people that bitch about how bad their coil-overs ride have improperly installed them :P

hell yeah! My friend was wondering why his car was stif and bounce like a jack in the box. I look under his car. and the coilover was installed upside down. The sleeves were on top of the coils.

The short springs are usually a LOT stiffer than the full-length regular. Between sleeve and spring not compressing a lot under vehicle weight you should be fine.
