i did a search about struts didnt find much, but like everyone else was quoted about $950 from monroes for new struts all the way around sooo i was wondering what aftermarket parts i could buy for about $1250 for a killer suspention? lol since i need new struts would coil overs help or what b/c i dont really understand how they work or what is encompased in suspention kits (ie:coilovers, super-struts, and other things) so any help is greatly appreciated! ohh yea i was looking for about about an inch and a half all the way around drop or so, but i still want a comfortable ride but since my struts are shot the harshest supention will probaly fell better than what i have now rolleyes.gif and thanks for your help in advance!

For 1250 you could probably get a true coilover setup... which would be completely KILLER, check out Tein coilover setups... they run upwards of 1000$. Other than that, for about 500 you can get Koni Yellow struts, then 200 for some new springs (lots of options, run a search), get some Suspension Technique anti-sway bars, some strut braces and other various things (replace sway bar end-links, etc.) and you'd have a killer setup. A coilover system is the shock/strut and spring, so if you go w/ Tein coilovers you don't need anything else. But then you wouldn't have any cash left over for the sway bars or strut braces, so you decide! Coilovers are great for handling and such, but the ride won't be as comfy.
