Save up another $100-150 and go with Koni ground control.

OR Progress coilovers are said to be fantastic for the money.

Goals for the car? Ride height?

And the swap is irrelevant to your suspension choice.

2-4 inches off the ground is definitely slammed.

For under $700, Progress CS-II with the lighter spring rates.

And could you PLEASE type in normal English please?? Your posts are pretty difficult to read and make you seem under-educated.

Do you want a 'low stance', whatever that is, or do you want the car to handle well?







This is what is usually considered a functional ride height. I've got the progress CS-II with 350F/350R spring rates and a 22mm rear swaybar.

Even a little lower than that the progress can handle. You just need to get the 500lb springs for the front and 350lb springs for the rear to avoid bottoming out.

Or with konis you could probably get away with 450 front and 300 rear.
