what would be the best suspension upgrade for my 1998 eagle talon ESI im goin for a blue and black look so if possible try to coordinate also pics and prices would help thanks
 
I'm not expert, but from my readings here I would say your single best suspension upgrade will be shocks.
But it all depends on your goals, what are they?

you should be able to get some nice shocks for around 300-600. I recently picked up some Koni Sports (Yellows) (still in the mail) and they run on average from $550 to 650.
Illuminas can be had for around $365 and up, and the AGX and gr2 or tokico hp blues while of considerabley less quality are of considerabley less cost.
 
Are you trying to coordinate the color of the new shock/springs with the color of your car? Just making sure, didn't quite understand the color thing.
 
Depends on your budget. If you have the money, go for Eibach Pro and Konis. The next step down is Eibach Pros and Tokico Illuminas. The cheapest ones of the batch are Eibach Pro and Tokico Blues. Ebay has the cheapest prices.

I don't see why you are that worried about the color of the shock, you won't be able to see it with the wheel on anyways while you are driving. If you still care about the color, buy the shocks and springs and then send it to a powdercoating shop like www.boneheadperformance.com and have it powdercoated.
 
well the thing is im tryin to color coordinate the suspension with the engine im goin blue black and chrome for engine and probably blue for suspensions i was thinking the adjustable illuminas but idk about springs for a good combo to go with the illuminas
 
get some eibach prokit (black) and some tokico illuminas (white) and buy some black paint and paint the shocks...or get some mud...that'll do a good job...
