how old are your shocks and springs?

the first solution that comes to mind for any new problem with my car usually involves a can of gas and a match....

exactly...don't mess around when it comes down to your suspension(or anything on the car for that matter). use the search button and you'll come up with more than enough information to guide you in purchasing new struts and springs

I just want to add that you get wht you pay for thing. I will disagree, call me whatever you want but I always tend to go the a different route than ones most traveled. And I went with dropzone springs on my stock struts and it still rides very close to stock except if i hit big bumps. But this is'nt the case we are talking about bad struts, I will say though that the more expensive shit is'nt the only stuff you need to buy to get good to better results. Some of the stuff that may not be as popular may actually be more than satisfactory for some. Well I made my rant hope this helps.

if handling is a big part of your daily driving, then get hard suspension and you'll have to deal with the ride. otherwise, get some adjustables and some nice springs. screw coils, and screw stock suspension. i have tokico hp's and sportlines, seems hard as hell to some people, but im just used to it. im used to driving in oregon, but now that i'm grid locked into street light driving here, i'm going to get air cyls.

Having Problems? Heres my Three step solution to anything 2gnt related.
Step 1: Put down everything in your hands.
Step 2: Grab a lucky strike, Smoke it.
Step 3: Walk to the fridge, double fist some keystone ice, sit down in the shade, drink one beer, finish cigarette, drink other beer, roll a joint, smoke it, walk back to your problem, and in about 5 minutes the solution will come to you.
If not. Go here: here

If still nothing, your trying to hard. Start over at step 1.

I agree with most of the people in this thread in that you definitely get what you pay for when it comes to suspension. I got a great deal on normally $1200 coilovers, Apexi, and the ride is amazing!! A friend of mine has Tokico shocks and H&R springs and the ride is rough as hell. Go with very nice comprehensive setup, don't mess around when it comes to ride quality. If you get a nice adjustable coilover, like Tein SS, Apexi WS, or something really expensive like JIC then you won't regret it at all and you don't to have your car lowered much at all to benefit from the setup.
