Default What suspension to get?

I wana know what the best suspension set up for my car is... its a 2000 ex coupe shell. I want to spend no more than say $650 which is the price for tien basic coil over kit. If anyone has any good suggestions for a shock/ coil spring set up that is good n will save me money , let me know. Im not trying to drop it too much jus about a 1 to 1.5 inch drop. I see some guys hitting bumps then their **** is bouncing all the way down the highway... i really dont want a cheap suspension set up!

sometimes, springs and coilovers are cheap and perform awesome. well i reccomend H&R springs and Skunk2Racing coilovers. they dont come in a kit, but it will be very good performing. skunk2racing is awesome and H&R is awesome.
here is the link to Skunk2racing

search for H&R springs

my suggestion is using H&R race with koni yellow.. i believe there is other springs which would work much better with koni yellow than H&R but can't remember what those were.

if you can't afford that, then go with koni red.. but i wouldn't do that

get eibach's or any other good spring.

stay away from the "race" springs and stick with the "sports" to get a milder drop, and spend most of that $650 on koni yellows. that should price out to about 650 bucks.

if u want height adjustability, go ground control with those konis. it'll cost more than you have budgeted but i wouldn't trust any other sleeve maker outside of ground control.

Tokico Illumina Rs, especially if you do the shock travel mod.
