time for a drop
Sunday, August 20, 2006 10:51 PM
im not concerened about adjustability, im really lookin at quality and affordability. right now i can afford to upgrade my suspension from around 5-$700. i dont really want coilovers but if there are any that come with shox and struts in a full set then im all for it. ive been considering koni reds and yellows but im not sure which to use. the drop im lookin at is 1.5 and no more than 2". wut r u guys' suggestions. also does the koni sport kit need to be modified, i heard u had to bore the strut mounts or somethin like that.. i also need new strut mounts and i have no idea where to get them

you need to read the faqs.

koni reds havent been made for well over a year now, if not longer. first figure out how low you want to drop your car because a 1.5" drop and a 2" drop is a big difference in price change and also figure out if you want coils or springs. you say you dont want coils but if you can find a full setup then you would buy it. i think you need to figure out a little more what you want before we can help

i want springs and around a 1.5 inch drop. i read the faq but all the extra replies kinda throw me off. im lookin for somethin simple but nice. like a complete spring, shock and strut setup

get the eibach prokit (1.4" drop) and kyb agxs which are adjustable and warrentied up to a 1.5" drop. This setup should run you around 550-600 brand new

1) plug and play...

2) option would be koni sport kit

3) also you dont have to read the extra replies, everything you're asking is def in the first post of the FAQ....

since its not over 1.4 is this kit ok? i havent heard much about it.


i wouldnt buy that because the hps are oem replacements and not meant for a drop
