Buying Shocks & Springs
Well, I've been looking around for some new shocks and springs, because when i purchased my del they were cut and the ride was horrible. Plus i need to raise it back up some because the roads in AK SUCK. So heres my predicament I dont know what kind or where to get the springs and shocks from... Im looking for ones that will give me about a 1.5" drop.
Any suggestions???

thats not a bad setup but if you want your car at a set height and don't want to be able to change it then go with some eibach sport lines or something
the GC setup while give you adjustablity but you said you wanted a small drop, id suggest going with the GC though just cause you can get exactly what you want, you can order the whole setup from ground control, http://www.ground-control.com there number is on there

if wanting like a 1.5-1.75 drop. forget the eibach sportlines and get h&r sports. just my opinion.

Sweet info... I just got off the phone with G.C. There prices were $775 for Tokico Ill. + Eibach coil overs and about $78 dollars shipping so total about $853. Does that seem high?? Im on a tight budget, but I defiantley want to do the damn thing right. So what you guyz suggest? Go for it??

I think I would just order the coilovers and KYB's seperately (probably ebay). You could probably have it on the car and have spent not a penny more than $700.

- NEUSPEED/Koni Shocks (SP3 - the ones with 5 grooves not sport, only 3)
- NEUSPEED Sport Springs
You won't regret it.

The Ground Control coilover kit is what I would suggest. I don't have them yet myself, but my friend has the ground control/ kyb AGX setup and it rides pretty good. Fully adjustable height, and I think he spent aroun $650 with shipping and all

If this is just for street diriving and you have no intention of autocrossing, I would just get some lowering springs such as eibach, and GC setup would be nice but it is overkill for just normal street driving.

Re: Buying Shocks & Springs (SOHC50shot)
I don't get this.. (IMO) I think half the people out there say "YEAH GO WITH KONI" just because the other half does. I haven't found a post yet that fully describes the "Amazing Koni's". What makes them more expensive? Do they provide a stiff ride? soft ride? Hows the roll? Are they good with drops? or better stock?
Cause right now that groupbuy looks really good. 580 bucks for coilover kit and AGXs. Sounds like a bang up deal. what ya'll think? Would those be the most bang for the buck?? Cause i live in alaska there is no autocross events. But there is a track. Would i be better getting springs and some shocks? Truthfully it will mostly be street driving.

Koni Yellows are in a complety diffent league when comapred to AGX's and other shocks that cost less, they have a liftetime warrenty they are rebulidable, they perform well in all kinds of differnt conditions, you can have the rebuidable, once you get a set of koni's you should never have to buy another shock.
