need help with a what to get - 2/29/2008 12:38:59 PM    ProjectDrknss Posts: 101 Joined: 11/7/2006 Status: offline Hey guys.  My stock springs and shocks are starting to go and I need to replace them.  However, I'm on a budget so I can only spend so much.  I was wondering if it would be better to get skunk2 coilovers + kyb shock struts or get tenzo r coilvers + kyb shock struts?  I'd appreciate some response.  O yea, I want coilvers so I can raise and lower as I pleased because I like my car height at the moment and the stocks are cut so I don't know how much lower it is.  I didn't want to get springs and have wheel gaps.

IMO its not the right way to go about it. If you get the tien springs youll have it nice and lowered and youll get a much better ride. Also remember if you plan on using the coilover and lower it pretty low then you are gonna need to get a camber adjustment kit. More money to spend and still have a worse ride quality _____________________________ quote: ORIGINAL: pilsenblue Even tho My car looks great It will never be fast.
