i have a stock 96 dx hatch and when i get my stimulis check i plan on lowering it finally. but heres the dilema.. im very new to full suspension set ups(struts, sway bars, lca's, uca's, end links) when i hear talk about them im lost. so i was considering out of the sake of saving a few bucks if it would be equall or more benificial to buy a complete coil over or just some kyb struts with lowering springs. please help i wanna have this planned out for the purchase. thanx!

edit: im not looking to auto x or anything, just want "the goods" and be able occasionally out handle the homies.

if ur not gonna ralley the car just buy some struts and spring on the cheap end buy kyb gr2 with some nice springs like skunk2 or some skunk 2 coilovers or for more buy some ksport fully adjustable but the problem ur gonna have is the rear lower control arms "lca"more then likely the bolt is gonna be seized so i would spray both of those bolts with pb blaster a day before install or the worse case ur goona have 2 buy some lca

 

yeah im gonna buy some blox lca, the ctr sway bar & asr subframe brace and sway bars for sure but its the whole coil over vs spring battle thats urking me twords making the right decision. also i want an aggresive stance so im looking for around a 2inch drop. im looking at probly some eibach sportlines. any ideas on that?

 

had a set of the eibach they ride real smooth had it on my 94 hatch but if u have the money just buy some ksport 32 wat adj and call it a day

 

is there a noticible difference between a full coil over and just after market springs/struts?

and also whats the full name of the ksports you suggested so ican look them up.

 

KSPORT KONTROL PRO FULL COILOVER and yes their better handling u can control ur height and it drives just a smooth as aftermarket struts and springs

 

they look interesting.. thanks for your help man! one more thing, this is a real noob question but if i upgrade my lca is there anything else i should do to support or back them up?

 

no unless u wanna get into some auto x

 

ok cool. thanx alot man.
