if you find coilovers and springs for 500 you better not buy them! "cheap" coilovers are going to be over 1,000.

trust me when i tell you to save your money. your suspension is absolutely NOT something you want to cheap out on.

if you are looking to just lower then take a look at Eibach or H&R springs.

its not about bottoming out, its about destroying your stock shocks and struts, thats what u have to worry about with just adding springs, do it right save your money for a good set of coil overs or save your money for springs and Konis, dont forget you have to hack the front stockers to make the konis fit
