Affordable basic suspension set up

I want to lower my car, but not too low. I live in denver and like to ski so i dont want it slammed. I also dont want to pay an arm and a leg.

Eibach Pro-Kit springs are nice...also Tein S Tech springs...both are good drops but not crazy slammed...you could also just mate those with the stock shocks, but the shocks would just wear out faster than normal...that's the cheap route i can think of. If you can afford it, get the TEIN basic coilovers...send a private message to member name Excelerate for info and good prices. He know's his stuff and is a great guy to deal with, he's also a vendor and sponsor on this site. Good luck

How many miles on your car or more specifically your shocks? If you have some miles on your shocks you may want to consider replacing them. $750 installed is obtainable. TEIN springs can be had for about $200 or so, Tokico Blues (shocks) for about $320 and install for about $200-$250.

PM me if you need any of hte parts.

I have 78000 miles on the car i bought it last week. Im assuming im on the original shocks. How much lower would the tein springs and blues lower my car. i love how smooth my ride is, how much more firm would it be?

TEIN has 2 springs: High Tech, which is better for comfort. The drop will be about 1.5" F and 1.0" R. The Stechs which are a little firmer will be about 1.8" F&R.

Eibach Pro-System Kit...that includes pro-dampers shocks and springs and can be purchased for $485 from here http://www.drivewire.com/Performance...systemkit.html
And if u know how to work on cars save the money on having them installed and do them yourself...it's not that difficult of a job..but if you rather have them installed it can be done for about 200 to 250 dollars
