Hey guys,

So, one thing I wanted to do here real soon was drop the car. I was gonna do springs first, then the struts later on. But I was wondering if I should just hold off and get one of the cheaper coil-over sets. I don't need some high-end race package, but still something that works and won't blow out in a month. I've noticed several sets now for right about 1,000 or less. That's what I'd go for. I use the car everyday, so they need to be solid and reliable for PA pot-holes.. lol. I'd still like them to be firm like the stock set-up, but a bit lower too.

Suggestions? Thanks!

 

Sportlines(or your fave spring) and FE5 struts/shocks with UNCUT bump stops
Sportlines(or your fave spring) and Koni Yellows.

 

I have sportlines with removed bump stops in the back oops

 

So springs and struts over a set of cheaper coils..??

 

maven why uncut bumpstops????

 

Yep. You don't have a real need for coilovers, Maven's suggestion is spot on.

 

Coolio. But yes, why cut the bump stops?

 

Cut bumpstops are (imo) the main reason struts/shocks blow out with lowering srpings.

I just installed my springs...full bumpstops, I did Steddy's Sportlines...full bumpstops, Recklessactn's sportlines...full bumpstop.

 

So install springs but DON'T cut the stops..? Just leave them as it is? First you said to cut them and then you said not to..? Or am I reading it wrong..? lol

 

You must be readin something wrong, I never said to cut them.

LEAVE THE BUMP STOPS ALONE. And youll be good.

 

Hmm.. Dunno.. lol

But yes, I'll just toss the springs on and leave the stops alone and we'll see how it goes.. Sounds like a plan!
