Cheap but Good Suspention Upgrade

I have a blown fornt right strut but my TL still rides great... I really want to get the Tein Basic coilover damper ($900) or the Tein SS coilovers ($1200) but i dont have the money right now to get that suspention. The reason why i wanted coilovers was so i can lower my car with out haveing to buy new springs every time i wanted to lower my car. i wanted to lower it a bit with my stock tires and when i get my 18s i may lower it a little bit more to make the TL look good... So if any one knows of a good coilover set up around $500 area that would be great.... Ive seen alot of ppl here put Koni yellows with the ground control coilver kit and i was wondering how much does that cost..? Thanxxxx

Right around 2". You don't want to go any lower than that.

You'll be more than fine with that drop. But a good alignment is crucial.

This is how I am rolling right now...



I m lowered more than 2 inches... I have neg 3 degrees of camber and tires seem fine so far, just ordered camber kit, you know just in case if I go any lower...

Out of specs toe kills tires quickly..

you can go as low as it takes to get the frame sitting on the ground.
