Hey guys!...I have a 94 Gt...right now it is one tein lowering springs but I want them to be lower...I still
Find my ride height is too high...I am planning on gettin a set of coils but do not want tp spend over 800 on them..
I just don't see the sense in that!
Also...do these cars handle well in turn..excluding the gt4's..
What do I need to do to make this car a corner king?

Maybe spend more than $800... Lol

J/k - Look in the stickies and price out what you can afford in your budget.

coilovers, proper tuning of it based on your application, end links, sway bars, poly bushings, braces (front and rear struts, body braces, underbraces, etc.), proper wheel and tire fitment, correct camber adjustment, damper, spring rates, etc. just some of the ideas. and a good driver wink.gif

Megan/bc coilover = decent coilovers with very good adjustability

Tein and blitz = good coilovers, Tein can rebuild each shock for $100.

TRD = best coilovers, buying them used is ur only option. getting them rebuild you can only buy the trd cartridges from the trd website. Each cartridge costs around $320.

if cornering is what you're after and you don't want to affect ride quality, i'd start with polyurethane bushings, upgraded rear sway bar, rear end links, and front & rear strut bars. that's over 8 bills right there.. lol.
then move up to lightweight wheels/tires, coilovers or any upgraded strut/spring combo, camber bolts/plates, body kit to reduce drag, and even strip out unnecessary parts to make the car as light as possible.
