After all sorts of hassles, I'm finally getting my exhaust. Now it's time to figure out what I'm gonna do about my suspension. The only thing I'm sure about is that I dont want coilovers and that I dont want any more than a 1.75" inch drop because it seems like the road crews around here do more sleeping than fixing potholes. What springs would you guys recommend? Also, will I need to buy new struts if my stock ones are still in good shape? Thanks a lot guys.

biggrin.gif Why dont you want coilovers? The problem about aftermarket springs is that they are not designed for your shocks, they are cut lower. This means when u hit a bump (and with your roads thats a problem) the piston in your shock will find itself in a lower position then it is designed to. This creates a HELL of alot of pressure on your shock and could cause failure. Coilovers are designed for and blueprinted for shock and coil, this means no worries. Plus they are adjustable and give a better ride.
