yeah definately get some real coilovers, or some nice sleeve coilovers with a nice set of struts, maybe tokiko illuminas. but for the best ride and for the best price i would go with omni's or the skunk2 full coilovers

Anything that has the dampening/rebound of the shock matched to the spring rate. If you're gonna be slammed then you need a stiffer spring though to keep from bottoming out, tires hitting the fenders & wheel wells, etc.

Dude, just get some ground control coilovers($300) and some tokico illumnia($400) struts. That would be a solid choice.:goodjob:

What's the point of that when he can just get Omni's for the same price, if not cheaper?

Because both the coilovers and struts come with a lifetime warranty.;)

give me spring rates of both front and rear, and type of shock setup, along with any other suspension mods and ill send you in the right direction.
....or you could just deal with your crappy ride for now, save your pennies, and buy a baller setup later down the road.

Skunk2 maybe bring the front up 1/2inch? then bring the back down level*
G/L anyway you go!
