coilovers or springs a struts?

hmmm on my 09 tc do you think it would be better going with stance coilovers or some other brand coilovers or some sportlines and konis? the cars a daily driver and will see a road coarse maybe twice or 3 times a year. im not trying to make a crazy amount of power with it either.

If you will never "raise the height" go with sportlines/konis. If you want to adjust the height, throughout the year, get coil overs.

I would avoid the coilovers you mentioned and any like them at this point, and there is no confirmation that Konis work on the TC yet afaik.

Sportlines look GREAT and ride better than stock.

I told you what i think, but if they want you test them whats the issue....test them and find out how they work/if they suck. /thread.

i mean from what i hear they are good on other cars thats why im willing to give this a shot just trying to figure out money wise if its better off to go with a koni sportline setup or coilovers in the long run.

You need to first verify that the Konis do in fact work with the TC....
