^^^ Not really sure what your talking about, anyone else spring suggestions and what will happen with me using stock shocks with tighter springs, they just wear out qicker? I plan on upgrading the shocks maybe around summer, just not right now...

i'll agree with adder (go figure) illumina's ftw!

when i did mine i go MM SFC ($100), MM CC ($200), tokico illumina Shocks/Struts ($450), upr U/L control arms ($200), d&d coil overs ($200 i think) for the front and eibach lowering springs for the back (from old car), and upgraded front/rear eibach swap bars ($250)... not bad for about 1500 bucks

I think D&D's coil over is like $250. You can get the D&D kit (K member, a arms & front coil over kit) for like $500 bucks! Than get Strange 10 way shocks/struts, MM control arms, CC plates, etc. and you will be sitting pretty!

H&R's won't be too bad of a drop if you use poly spring isolators w/ them.

H&R sport or supersports=$220shipped [google p/n for best price]
Poly spring isolators=$50shipped [most anywhere]
Tokico HP's=$227 shipped [jdmwerks on ebay]
UPR U/L control arms=$193 shipped [art's performance parts, call Artie]
Laurel Mtn. XL subs=~$90 shipped

I just checked ebay and dont see any but there used to be a company on there that sold the kits for $600 and than there was this one guy who always sold them for $500 on there... I just checked again but no luck finding either of them

You will be totally fine without replacing the shocks for now if you are going to do it in the summer!
H&R race springs and bilstein struts and shocks FTW!!!!
