Lowering my typeS

I saw the stickied thread about suspension setups. Here's my question. I would love to do coilovers on my 02 Tl type s but as far as pricing is concerned I don't have the money my limit is around 450 for suspension, but the rear struts are blown. I'm a master tech so I am not worried about labor or custom fab. I have 3 cars two dailys and my Volvo which makes 580whp and 680ft lbs torque. Lowering springs seem like my only viable option due to money restrictions but is there any coilovers in the 450 price range? I don't mind gently used either

Used maybe, not new for $450.

Why don't you just save a little longer and get what you really want?

Saving for me is not an option. I have about $1000 to put into it. I just spent 1900 on a Garrett 37r for my volvo

For 1,000 you can get XLR8 ISC coils which are $850 shipped right now. I heard really good things about them on the 3g side. I would have gotten them, but I didnt see the price drop and I ended up gettin Tien street advance coils for 900 shipped I think.
