Default I need a new suspension

So after going the cheap route for awhile, I finally decided its time for a new suspension. I couldnt handle the bounceyness of the ebay springs.

I'm looking for a setup that is under $500 that will lower my car and wont be bouncey. I like my cars low, so the lower the better.



I'd like to keep the current ride height if possible (see pic above), but the most important thing is that it stops being so damn bouncey.

any suggestions?

H&R race springs with KYB GR-2s. Thats what i have on my sedan and it rides soo smooth. tight on corners and looks similar to your drop. That should be right $350. I paid about $347 for everything if i remember correctly but then again i searched for months to find good deals because im a penny pincher like that

hate to say it but GR-2's are stock replacement shocks not performance. They are ideal for a stock ride height and not a dumped height...

Honestly it will be tough to get a comfortable suspension that will allow that height. I would reccomend spending a little extra dough and getting a coilover setup that allows ride height adjustment independent of preload. In doing so you can raise and lower it without affecting the properties of the damper/spring.

how much are those setups running?... this car is on a tight budget so real expensive setups arent an option.

Depending propperly done from 600+.

Ground Control Omni or S2 all over a sleave coilover you can use adjustable or non shocks with them.

Imo, deal with it bit higher but riding better and smoother.
