I want to do this right and would like some input if possible.

I have a 94 1/2 ST and want to eventually redo the engine and what not but first I was going to redo the suspension and tire setup.

I am looking for a good blend of qaulity and price, but arent we all.

I am between on either getting a full coilover or purchase the Shocks/Struts and coilovers seperatly, as this maybe more cost effective.

So, I found this full Coilover setup on Ebay for around 1000.00 and would like you input on how you think these are, and what maybe a good blend setup if I were to buy the suspension in peices and what I would need to buy, like camber kit etc.

Thanks ya'll

D2 is a good brand. 1000 is kind of high for them tho

i've been through two different sets of lowering springs and i'm now using full coilovers... imo i will never go back to using lowering springs for any of my future cars... just to give you an idea of what i think of them.. your choice also depends on how much you love your car lol smile.gif

haha, thanks, yeah I had coilovers on my talon and and kept the oem shocks and ended up with a terrible ride.

Can I still create a good suspension system with buying coilovers and shocks/struts and possibly a camber kit?

Also anyone know of a good place to get a full coilover kit?

Over here the roads are in too bad a state for full coilovers, apparently they make the ride rather harsh and are normally kept for more track oriented cars.
I went for Eibach Springs and KYB Shocks.
Never had any problems, been on the car 4 years now.
lowered it about 30 mm and keeps the ride nice while improving the handling very well.

Beat me to the punch.

Email their customer service and ask them to match their previous sale price of $890 shipped, and they'll comply. I know because I asked them about it after they raised the price.
