Listen man, I know your new and shit but please do not post up the URL of your car club in every topic you start.

Go put it in your sig, or your avatar but thats it. This is a verbal warning. Thanks



Now to answer your question, do not go coilover springs unless they are TRUE coilovers, not just sleeves.
Research Nex, they have a good price for their full coilovers.

umm, if NEX is too expensive for full coilovers, then you need a better job.. or start saving your money.

you could go with a strut/spring setup for about 400-450$ but you wont be able to adjust height or dampening..

the eibach/kyb combo is what i have on my car right now.. i like it, but i want the NEX suspension

WTF did you say?

If $1000 is expensive for a good suspension system, you might wanna go look somewhere else. No one here is going to show you the cheap/dangerous route to go with your car.

Either do it right the first time, or pay to have it all fixed later.

Hahaha... "$1000 is too much for a coilover system."

You gotta be kidding.

Look, if you can't afford to do it right, don't do it at all.

Pay the extra money for good quality parts. If you don't have the money right now --- SAVE UP. More than likely, it will still be available next month just like it was this month.

Going the cheap route and cutting corners will really effect you later on.

If you can't afford a good Coilover system, think about just doing lowering springs/dampers. Don't be a road grasshopper like those guys who cut their springs cause they can't afford $240.00 to buy a good set of lowering springs.

its not like anything else is gonna hurt his car, hell 90% of the people on this site that are lowered are not using the nex set up.





we need to know what your going for to help you out man. do you want supreme handling, or a low ass drop. what matters more. we can help you better the more info you give us with what your looking for out of the suspension. you can spend $500 on a suspension set up and be very happy.

wow thats allmost as bad as saying you wont pay over 300 for turbo system. $1,000 is fairly cheap for a DECENT suspension system. save money. it works. trust me....... not to mention, pay $1,000 today is cheaper than paying 500 now, then another 300, then another 400, then another 200, etc.
