Edit:

This is what I'm looking at
http://www.americanmuscle.com/eibach-shocks-0509.html $439
http://www.americanmuscle.com/fr-2005-k-springs.html $209
http://www.americanmuscle.com/maximu...tes-05-07.html $319

$967 what's so messed up about that is it's half the price of my exhaust and won't give me any hp and torque haha.

I can totally feel your pain. With the whole hp and torque thing though, I think that if done right, it will help free up and better apply that hp and torque off the line and around corners so it's still a good performance mod. But of course, we were thinking that we were doing the right thing getting new springs as apposed to doing the rice thing and cutting, and now we find out that it's gonna be another arm and a leg for the rest of it.

While complaining about it won't make it any cheaper, I'm just pointing it out haha

Anyways, I do think it will all be worth it when you walk out and you see that vanished wheel gap and how awesome your car looks with its new stance. Thats what I'm looking forward to anyway. Plus you don't have to worry about it every time you go out on the road since you know you did it right.

I'm thinking more and more that if I really want to do this right, I will need to buy the parts and hand it over to a mechanic. Knowing next to nothing about suspension, I could only do harm.

Gosh life would be so much simpler if we could just put springs in and be done haha
