Well I lowered my car with crap ass cheap ebay (that I got for free) coilovers and they flat out suck. I hate the ride it is gawd aweful...I should have listened to you guys.

I love the way my car looks dropped but I'd rather have comfort when I drive.

Here are the pics:

Sorry to hear that, get yourself a nice set of H&R Sport or Eibach Pro-Kit Springs

Looks good. I had the ebay coilovers and they sucked. Switched them out with prokits on stock struts and the ride was alot better.

i just recently took off my lowering springs/shocks and i miss the way it looked- now its too high...

If you want a nice ride and you are looking into struts after you get your coilover/springs situation sorted out my advice would be to not get the tokico blues, but save up for the tokico Illumina's!

illuminas are where its at. ive got the illumina spring and shock setup on my car and the ride is awesome. it was well worth the 450 bucks they cost me.

I didn't think the illuminas were much different than the blues.

Get some pro-kits and blues and the ride is great.

illuminas are 5 way adjustable whereas blues arent adjustable at all.

Well, I've had blues and illuminas. I've also had tein springs, prokits, skunk2s, maxspeeds, intrax, sprint, and some other one. I didn't think the blues were much different in ride then the illuminas. I made 1 adjustment on the illuminas and that was it. I don't think the adjustment part was worth the extra $200 considering it was never used.

get the tein basic damper setup, nothing better
690 bucks or so and your all set. (well plus camber kits)
youll spend just about the same if you get any shock/coilover sleeve setup

I have prokits and the blues setup right now and it sucks!

Well right now I am in the process of puttin my offroad springs back on, the rears are done and the fronts in the morning...Chaninging out your suspension in a parking lot with limited tools sucks major ass

I will not be buying anything else unless it is TEIN's full coilover setup

you should really get those "slash" side panel thingies... it helps the looks of the 97-99 bumpers a LOT
looks good lowered. I don't mind the coilover-type ride, I like pounding my organs into dust.

yes, but which setup? The basics should be the cheapest and the Type flex are the most expensive, I am not sure about the adjustablity on the basics, but with my Type flex, it is 16 way adjustable and with the EDFC ( soon the be installed) it changes to half increments so you have 32, excellent ride quality.

people who go to the track like having adjustable shocks. you can adjust them for better performance (better traction off the line) at the track and then easily change them back for comfort on the ride home.
