Need your help again guys, This time regarding supsension Options

[Random_Stranger]

Okay, so I was giving myself the break down for the first $1000+ (Just a little over) I am going to blow in my car and this is also regarding the other $1300 for my car. So far I am going to get rims, lowering springs, and exhaust with the first grand (As next check is already getting the Tails). Second will include a body kit (If I can find something unique, I found out how to create your own but not sure if I want to do that) and with whatever left over to combine with the following paycheck to buy the head lights off of Lew (assuming he still can get a hold of them). Anyways, I see the price ranges for the springs/coilovers and there is a HUGE gap. I see one set price range for under $100/$150 and I see another set price range from $600-$1300. Which is the way to go? In the future, I would like to go AWD, so should I get some cheap ones until I am ready to invest into expensive ones? What's your thoughts? Because the shocks are wearing out on my car on the left hand side.

I see that you want to be unique with the body kit and all, but why not stay simple and clean. Little things here and there will make your ride unique. You don't have to go balls out with custom a body to be unique.

Im with him on this one, less is more i feel.



As for your suspension setup, heres my look in it. If you TRUELY plan on goin awd, than i wouldnt bother getting anything right now. your gonna have to convert to Super-Strut suspension and ditch the McPherson struts you have now. I dont know if you researched it or not but the awd conversion is an INTENSE task, not bolt on. theres a lot of welding and engineering involved that needs to be done correctly for it to be safe.



However, if you decide not to go awd: I have Tein SS on my car and absolutely love it! on the soft setting its perfect and still handles well. the suspension feels nice and tight. I had Ground Control coils before and they were good for the street but i wanted a slightly stiffer ride and I liked SS way better.



it all comes down to what you want to spend. If you can afford the SS, id say do it, its worth the money. if you are more on a budget, id say Ground Control Coils or Tein S tech springs on a kyb shock would work just fine Good luck, keep us updated.
