My suspension needs upgrading. I want to better the ride quality best as possible. Any name recomondations for springs, struts, shocks? Any recomondations for any other parts that may better the ride. the suspesion now is all stock 14years 160+ miles worn.
The car floats rattles and shakes. I feel every imperfection in the road, over some bumps feels the car is gonna fall apart.. .
Im going to order from Americanmuscle.com as always could use help with install when parts arrive.

Corner Carver or 1/4 mile?
Budget?
Lowered?
Wheels you are running?
Tire Width?
Adjustability, or one setting?

Ok... budget limits you to non adjustable and technically put you over this limit for springs shocks and struts.

Tokico has become a great product, but most use the adjustable ones. The HP series you can get for around 300, and springs for 220. Lower control arms will put you over your budget.

Might want to scan corral.net or some of the other forums for used pieces. Sometimes ou can find some serious deals, on practically new stuff. You could probably find a nuce sek of H&K coilovers, Koni, or possibly Tein, complete settups for around your budget.

I got the Tokico D-spec Shocks and Struts, Eibach Pro Kit Springs (1.5" Drop) and Maximum Motorsports CC Paltes. Need Suspension Advice 10498 It feels great and I am sure you can get it all for under a Grip (1k Dollars). I got the MM CC plates and Tokico shocks and Struts from AmericanMuscle.com and the Eibach Pro Kit Springs I picked up on Craigslist for 180.00 delivered from CA.
