Default budget suspension upgrades

I wanna upgrade suspension but dont have money for fancy shmancy tein coilovers. any good coilover/strut or spring/strut combos for low budgets? I wont be racing or anything, maybe a couple runs at the 1/4 just to satisfy my curiosity.

I know, im not cheap when it comes to doing stuff, but this is a daily driver not a racecar. if i were doing autox or drag i'd drop the coin but i need something that performs better but is still pleasant to be in when driving to work or school or stop and go traffic ect..

i think GC+KYB AGX is probably the most affordable setup.

regular non adjustable race springs could be cheaper, but ride height control is a really nice feature and worth the extra $, esp on a DD.

haha the next cheap susp upgrade? $13 rear Strut Tower Bar off of Ebay . finally something that costs as much as it's worth

If you want something thats good for performance as well as daily driving i would go with tein s-tech springs and kyb agx shocks. Nothing too crazy and its cheap.

well the agx's seem to be a fave. ill prolly just get springs cuz ill never fawk with the ride height thing. i should prolly get rims first so i can decide the correct springs. thanks guys!

and whats with the ebay tower brace? i see them on ebay but are they really any good? how thick are they and what diameter?

to tell you the truth they look pretty shady, but honestly, i don't think a ST bar does much anyway, so it's not like it's gonna flex or snap...

someone who's got a Mugen STB should come by my house after i buy one so we can compare the EBAY STB to it and see what's what. i haven't got one yet, but hell why not.
