I have a question. I talked to a mechanic about lowering my car, and he told me that if I put springs on it I should also replace shocks, struts, ect. I'm kinda on a tight budget and I'm not looking for a racecar type ride, just a daily-mean-lookin driver. Do I need to go all out on the suspension for this? Or can I just put on some Sportlines and be done with it?
Thanks, Ryan

Front inserts: $40 each RR Strut Housing (LH and RH): $47 each Boots: $12 each Mounts (RR only): $37 each I just ordered my Teins. I have about 102K mileage on mine and I'm replacing the shocks also. I believe total including the boots and mounts total out to $334.20. That's with shipping. Without boots and mounts will total out to $194.64 |
