New to the Forum - soon to be penniless... Options

[Velliety]

Hi all! I've got a '96 vert - white - completely stock, and I am so excited to find this forum! I've been wanting to upgrade the Celi for a while now, but I'm not really into the tuner scene so I had no idea where to start. I've been reading here for ideas, and I'm afraid you guys are going to make me spend all my money!
First mod - new shocks/struts, I think. Ride has been spongy for a while now. After that, who knows what...
I don't want to lower it but I do want some decent handling - what's the consensus for recommendations on brand/type of shock/strut? Also, anyone know of any good shops in South Carolina for general suspension work and other potential mods? Specifically the Columbia area, but I'm willing to travel a bit. I did a search and didn't come up with anything - I guess there's not too many of us in SC, eh?

They are nothing goldy, but affordable...and being that im in pitt pa, i cant help ya with shops in your area. Hope u enjoy it here, oh and p.s also remember to try searching before you post questions. you'll usually find someone has already asked a question and the anwser is right thier
