Default Help CHoosing Suspension for CRX?

I have a crx with worn out struts and cut coils, handling is horrible. i want to use coil overs and some lowering struts. Which ones should i get, im sort of in a TIGHT BUDGET, i was thinking of getting some Ebay 60 dollar coilovers with some KYB's. they are the cheapest i seen. i also want ride comfort and dont want to bounce out of control, Any suggestions are aprriciatted i dont want to spend 400 dollars.

Due to your tight budget, i would at used stuff.
Try and find a brand name of springs that lower the car about 1.5-1.75 inches and maybe a set of Tokico HP shocks. That will provide an excellent set up for a cheap price. Much better than some crappy no name stiff spring set that will ride poorly.

What he said ^^..used tokico blues can usually be found for pretty cheap. Suspension is the one thing you really really dont want to cheap out on. You can get away with ebay intake/header and or a muffler shop exhaust and still have near equal performance as aem SR/dc header/ name brand exhaust for much cheaper. but when it comes to suspension dont cheap it.

check the classifides, i saw a coulple sets of eboch springs floating around for 50-100

ebizzle has a seller that has some ok pricing on tokico (blues/illuminas/and blues n springs) ill's are 340, blues were bout a hun cheaper.

gab's are pretty good...if ur on a tight budget and they will rock compared to blown out stockers

so you guys suggest on using some lowering springs and tokiko blues.
what would ride better coilover springs, lets say Skunk2. or Eibach Lowering springs.? for sure i will be getting struts, because my friend bought autozone 40 dollar lifetime warranty struts and he blows them all the time.
