Don't cheap out on suspension parts. Get the best you can afford.

Everyone is on a budget but, like every one says, if your going to do it, do it right the first time, not 2nd, 3rd and so forth. You'll end up kicking yourself in the nads if your car's suspension rides like crap and then you'd have to fork more money to repair the cost for the damages that you caused for half-assing the job with cheap parts or by cutting it. Better safe then sorry IMO.

Suspension is one thing NOT to cheap out on. Spend the money for good quality parts or you'll regret it.
