Need a lot more info.

What car is it? Need exact make and model.
Budget?
Daily driver?
What are you looking to do with the car?
What other Suspension work have you done?
How stiff?
Do you want to lower it?


And last but not least, did you search?

92 LS
Budget? well In the range of 400
Daily for the time being
Eventually I would like to make it a dedicated track car but for the forseeable future nothing but street use (by street use I mean daily driving)
No suspinsion at all other than a mizu 3 row rad its completely stock
I want it to be mild
lowered, possibly I have taken a look at Eibach pro kits and that sounds like its what Im looking for. The car has too much dive squat and body roll. I wanted lowering springs then I took a tokico blues and thought that might do it aswell. Really I've been just looking to eliminate minor annoyances. so if theres any mildly stiffer suspinsion up grades that are cheaper I'll probably go for that.

The eibach kit is great.

Than you could look at Koni srt-t shocks.

for $400 I'd leave it alone. Anything you buy to lower your car with $400 is going to be terrible.

Do it right the first time. Since your car is eventually going to be a dedicated track car, just wait a few months and get koni/GC. That way when you decide to go full time track car you can just have your shocks revalved.

Thank you, I agree completely. I've been searching and the only thing I can afford is p.o.s. megan racing springs.

I learned that the hard way. I've now sold my konigs that had the finish chipping off after being only 3 months old.

I'm also going to be replacing my Progress CS-II's with koni/gc because I realized that if I'd waited another 2 weeks I could get a superior product with a lifetime warranty.

I love them. I just would like something that is rebuild-able in the future.
