Default What do ya'lllll think

here's an idea.....use the search function....once you get an idea about what you're are talking about....(since it's been covered about 46,000 times before, there should be plenty to read) you can come back w/ a couple of selections you have made....along with an idea of your budget, and goals for your car, and we have an intelligent discussion?

bah, back to nasioc for me

you need to chill out. but anyway I have a set of H&R race drop springs. I first had them on my stock struts and they seemed a bit bouncy but okish. When i got the tokico illuminas put on they're great, not bouncy at all and there stiff.

if you cant afford an dumper/spring setup it seems like your only other option is to buy lowering springs and lower your car to an acceptable level where your stock shoks wont be too pressurised, why? because if you lower it too much your ride will be shiet! simple shoks will *** up. My suggestion is that if you're after confort and performance lower it 1.5" and leave at that 'till you can afford a proper setup with quality shoks (KONI, TEIN, etc) and springs (EIBACH)...just my $.02

why don't you just leave it alone until you can afford the set-up you really want?
