Is this coilovers or springs

Hello you guys quick question is this sitting on springs or coilovers ?

Impossible to definitively say I would have thought.

You'd like to think it would either be coilovers or bagged though.

Do you have a photo of the suspension?
Otherwise, this is just a guessing game...

Hopefully this is not spring only because it is too aggressive and would be detrimental to the ride and other hardware...

Coil or bag are the educated guess...

Believe it or not they are called side skirt extensions, strange but true!

I'd hazard it's sitting on both, as most cars require both springs and dampers to produce adequate suspension.

(Couldn't resist, sorry)

definitely coils. even supersports do not drop that perfectly

err that's super sports. just look how there's more gap up front.

and OP as I recall ur super sports sits lower in the rear

edit: could be Kay dub height adjustable springs.

Only Superman would know for sure.

Just do a Google search with that picture. I did, and I found a Youtube-video the owner put up.

From the video-description:
"Megan coilovers"

EDIT:
And a thread from this forum:
