In my mind changing the whole suspension is shocks/springs/bushings, etc.

What do you want the car to do for you?
What is your budget?

Whole suspension? What do you have now and what are you going to use it for and what do you want out of it? Lowering it, or keeping it about stock height?

liyan1430

since the suspension that i hving now is stock, which is old, when i turn, the suspension always making strange noise,thatz y i wanna change it.

after i change it, i think im gonna lower it and im only gonna use for daily driving, i not going to race anyone tho

my budge is around 400-500 im thinking to get KYB one

You can't do much with 400-500,however, you could do Progress coilovers.

Just giving you an idea on what you can buy, you don't have to buy from ebay. But that's not a bad price.

so basically, i could only get shock and spring rite??

will shock+spring enough to satisfy my need??

98civdx

You haven't given me enough information to give you a accurate guess.

How low do you want to be?
Are you going to fine with a stiffer ride? Not back backing by any means, however you will definitely feel the new springs.

liyan1430

well, idk yet, but atleast i dont have to go Z shape everytime i see a deep or speed bump

im totally fine with stiffer ride

98civdx

I am lowered about 2.5'', maybe a little lower in front.

I am usaly ok, sometimes I have issues with large speed bumps, and some drive ways.

I've gotten high centered on a speed bump, and had to call my friends to come push down on my front end to get off of it. But I was slammed when that happened.

liyan1430

ic, maybe im going for 2.2'' at the front, and 2.0 at the back

so back to my question, will shock+spring enough to satisfy my need?? or i need coilovers+shcok+spring???

98civdx

Those springs will not.

For the money, I would say look into progress coilovers.

H&R race springs would do it, but a little lower. I think closer to 2.5/2.25 If I remember correctly. However, to this you really should be runing a shock such as the Koni sport/(yellow.) BUT, those alone will eat up your budget.

liyan1430

h&r race spring's price seens like fine with me,but koni shock is too expensive, thatz y i think kyb shocks will fit perfectly with my budge~~~

98civdx

Kyb what? If your thinking the Gr-2 don't bother.

Those are OEM replacement shock, and cannot handle the low height or the spring rates.
They WILL blow.

liyan1430

ya i was thinking about the gr-2 tho, so can u think of anything is between $300-400?

98civdx

koni Str-t, but I am unsure how they will hold up with the rates of the race spring.

With the koni's you'll have a life time warranty. I highly recommend you just hold off for a bit, and get a much better shock. (Sport)

liyan1430

so the progress is a brand that sells suspension kits rite??

SHG_Claudio

Yeah. Best bang for your buck IMO in your price range.

liyan1430

icic, looks like the price will fit my budge perfectly~~~

im thinking about to get this one~~~

Give them a call so they can help you pick out the rates for your needs. You dont want to come back here and complain about them being too soft or being too stiff you know? They can help you decide what you should be looking at.
