Default What shocks and struts??

My car is lowered big time but not sure exactly how much but i know the front coils are cut a bit to make them lower. What shocks and struts would be good to put on that are adjustable so that I could raise the car just a tad. Right now I have the stock struts and shocks on them. Im not to knowledgeable when it comes to suspensions so any advice would be helpful. Also trying to find somewhat cheap shocks and struts too but you guys can list the more expensive ones too.

Correct me if I'm wrong but are you going to be able to raise the car with a better set of shocks and struts? I'm pretty sure you're just going to need a better set of springs, but I could be wrong. Strange 10 ways are cheap, but they're pretty noisy.

i don't think you can raise the ride height with adjustable shocks and struts..thats just setting the damping.

You might want to get coilovers or adjustable LCA in the rear if you want to adjust ride height.

or get different springs

Oh well then what coils would be good that will drop it a lot. Right now I got my coils from a friend who had them on his stang but the reason why the front is so low is that he cut a little off of the front coils.

I like my steeda sport springs.
Bought them because IIRC drop was around 1.25 everyone else is around 1.50 -1.75 or so.
I didn't want to drop it too low, there are a lot of street with high crowns around here, going from one to another my front spoiler rubs once in awhile, would have been obliterated with a bigger drop.
