Default New suspension...help me out.

Hey guys my shocks are bad in the rear so im going to buy some new ones. But i really want to get rid of my 4x4 look. I know the easiest way would be springs but i was wondering if there are certain shocks i could by that will lower my car up to 2 inches. And also what else will i need to buy along with shocks?

no you will not be able to get shocks that will lower your car, if you get a shorter shock your gonna be sitting on your springs.. then that'd be a ****ty ride.

[hr]Im lookin to buy Strange struts and shocks but I had a question... I am goin to buy them on summit but I looked at the application and it said stock springs. I have bbk springs currently on but will be replacing those with FRPP C springs. Will the shock/strut life be shortened dramatically or will there be any reason I couldn't use those shocks/struts with these springs. Thanks in advance.

He might also consider $teeda.

I like the idea of a complete kit that is designed to work together.

I;m considering getting rid of the 4x4 look myself but I have a Vert, which has different springs than the coupes and from my reading only Eibach makes a seperate kit specifically for the vert but I'm not thrilled with Eibach as a number of people have told me about sag problems over time.

I haven't actually called any places yet, so others might make vert specific kits as well but Eibach seems to be the only one advertising them.
I would prefer to go with H&R or $teeda.
