I have a question. I talked to a mechanic about lowering my car, and he told me that if I put springs on it I should also replace shocks, struts, ect. I'm kinda on a tight budget and I'm not looking for a racecar type ride, just a daily-mean-lookin driver. Do I need to go all out on the suspension for this? Or can I just put on some Sportlines and be done with it?
Thanks, Ryan

I bought a coil-over kit, and i aint got the money now for struts, so Im slaming it now, and my struts got alot of miles on them! Im tired of my ride being too high.
I do plan on buying new struts next month and Im doing the work myself to save big bucks. So if I got to take it apart again, oh well. If your going to do your own work, put the springs on and when you get the money buy the struts. working on your vehicle is half the fun. |
