Coil overs come with springs. Some coil overs have soft/medium or hard spring sets.

ohh alright thats cool i dont know much about coilovers and stuff and do i need to get a professional to install the coil overs or can it easily be done?

I recommend professional install, as you will also need a wheel alignment after install

Some light reading for you on coilovers:

i got mine in melbourne for $1250. they do install for $250 but i didnt install it through them. better get a professional as they all have the proper tools to install them.

You could easily do it yourself but like everyones saying with coilovers do it professionally

Put it this way, if you need to ask, then have someone else do it. I have a couple of guides in the workshop section if you want to see how much is involved.

Not all coilovers come with springs. High end racing struts don't include springs as that is for the buyer to determine the brand and spring rates they want. But anything under $4000 will come with springs. Also don't forget that Koni struts with King springs isn't a bad combination and is good value for money. I'd rather that over the cheap Chinese gear.
