Default $500 to spend on DC spring/shock, get what?

I got $500 and no more for springs and shocks for my H22 DC2, what do you recommend? Id spend more but thats my budget, it also has upper strut bars and a rear sway bar......if that helps

ps-posted this in suspension forum too, but they dont give many answers sometimes

I would recommend saving up and getting koni yellows and ground control coilovers, which runs for around approx 825. I'm not to sure how much omni's are but you could look into those, or look in the classifieds and you could pick up a used set for a pretty good deal.

I say do it once and do it right.

I'm all for the Ground Control coilovers and Koni yellows. You won't regret it. It's like the perfect set up, rides and handels awesome

I know all that, but $500 my budget. I have another $5000 to save up for the other 1000 things the car needs, so budget is a factor. That extra $325 is my traction bars

get H&R sport (or race) for 150 if you're not gonna get ground control. Dont get Ebach sportline.. they make your car look uneven.

If you are going to keep the same height just get some lowering springs and some koni yellows.

the cars kinda a weekend racer, it will see a drag strip and autocross course....as i said its got a 280 whp h22 in a severly weight reduced car, so it should haul some *****. I just have to stay within my budget or my wife will kill me. And I want a certain set of things on there, so I cant really mess with my budget too much. Right now the shell has H@R race springs on tokico hps, but it sits too low for the lower h22 oil pan.....
