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

Ok, I'm tired of people saying how they have coilovers. A REAL coilover is a spring and shock all in one. It's totally different then a spring/shock setup. You have adjustable springs. Just cuz adjustable springs and coilovers both allowe u to jack with ride height, does not mean they are one and the same. The is a world of difference in handling and performence and cost when it comes to coilovers vs ricer-overs(adjustable springs) -------------------- NASA/SCCA RX-7....currently under the knife
