springs/shocks/coilovers/etc.

How low do you want to go,
How stiff do you want it to be?
and the biggest question - whats your budget??

Scott, stupid questions deserve stupid answers. A search could have easily shown him how to ask a more percise question. Lack of effort on his part = ****ty answers.

look @ omnipower because they have the best options for the price.

let the people know your budget and what you already have kimmett

so... what's your budget. answer Scott's questions (budget and goals mainly) and we can get a hit on sum good parts for you. cuz I mean... we can tell you to get Ohlins, but for that price you can prolly buy 4 CRXs. So it all depends... how good a shape is your car in? how/where do you drive? do you have any rust? what motor do you have? etc etc.


cuz I'm not about to suggest a $4000 susp for a stock 1988 car, I dun care what the car is... CRX or Ferrari.

I used goldline 1.5" drop on my civic, with stock shocks. This was a good ride, and just saved up and put in kyb agx later. The goldlines arent that bad on stock shocks, and the eventual combo, of goldline and kyb agx worked great for comfy street and full out solo. They cost me about 800$ total.
