help me choose my suspension

Hey guys,
I'm new to suspension stuff and I'm just makin sure that the prices I'm checkin out are good deals. All of these are sets of 4

Possibility 1: Neuspeed Sport or Race Springs for $129.95 + $15 shipping
Possibility 2: Ractive Coilover Kit for $179.00

I know my stock shocks won't last very long, so I'd also have to get shocks with the Neuspeed springs. What do you guys suggest?? Thanks for your time

Hey d5c5b,

just so you know.....the KYB's come with a paper thats says the warranty is voided if you use the shocks with springs that lower more than 1.5 inch (i.e. sportlines etc.....)

what does that mean? i dont know....but you may want to do more research or reconsider our plans......

For the 2.3, I would get the Eibach Sportlines.

I also recommend the KYB AGXs!

I'm gonna get Eibach Pro Kits with Koni Yellows (if I can afford them) or KYB AGX (if I can't).

But first things first, rims. Should have those within the month.

I have the Neuspeed Sports and the KYB AGXs. I love my setup. With the adjustables, you can choose anythying from a stock ride to a hard-ass back pain ride. Very good combo in my eyes. There is a post on the Black Market of some guy selling KYB AGX's brand new. I think he still has more. They are a great deal too. The Neuspeed price is good too. I paid $155 shipped to Canada.

Just my oppinion, but I bought my wheels before my suspension and I was very disappointed with my car after putting my wheels on...way too much wheel gap, I hated looking at it. Now with the drop, I am really happy, but I would probably recommend lowering it first, or at least doing it very close together (in time).

I'll have my drop about 1 month after my wheels. School starts...So bank account gets replenished.
