Suspension setup will be worked on after the engine is 100%, most likely doing entry level koni shocks, tein springs, ebay bushings/toe arms/camber kits, extended top hats
Not looking to dump the car, or anything crazy. Small drop, maybe 2 finger gap, nice and safe

Re: Operation: 98 ek hatch.
little tip stay away from the no name ebay parts, they seem good now because they are inexpensive, but they are inexpensive for a reason
do your self a favor and buy quality parts the first time around they might be a little more expensive up front but you will save your self hassle and problems later when they break and you have to replace them, so buy quality and only have to buy once
