Default Lowering

Through my searches i only came up with the information im looking for, on the wrong application. I want to lower my eg hatch but its a daily driver, i want a smooth ride that doesnt bottum out. I seen a couple of suggestions for this but I would like to know exactly what to do so i cant mess it up . Also i would like to get these to last for more than a year and spend less then 500.

tien S-techs will lower your car but still be comfortable....you can even use your stock shocks, althogh its not recommended...that should run you 125$

kyb's are the best deal

koni yellows would be best.

tokico blues would be a waste of money.

I disagree, i got tokico blues and it wasnt a waste of my money at all. with tein springs, i can have a passenger up front and 2 in the back, and not even have to worry about scraping around town. People tell me all the time that my car rides as smooth as stock. thats because of the blues, they are the smoothest shock you can get for a daily driven car thats dropped.

im looking for sites that sell pakages now to be easier lol..

how about tokico Hp struts with eibach sportline springs for 470?

Koni red suspension kit - 490

eibach sportlines with koni red hp struts-490

this seams easier but if s-tech springs are like 130, what shoks are cheap and good to keep under these 500 packages...
