When I bought my car, it was lowered like 2 inches or so. I hate it. I would just like some good replacements that I could use for a little while. I am on a budget, and need something thats cheap and decent. I was thinking of buying used stock gsx springs and struts off the trader. Would those be a good idea?

If so, are FWD and AWD springs and struts compatbile with each other? Thanks in advance.
 
No FWD and AWD arent compatable. I know they can be used in place of one another, but shouldnt be done because of different rates and such... If you want your car back to stock height than just buy some used awd springs from someone for cheap, problem solved. If you want it low, just not that low, and want perfromance than I would recommend the following setup: Eibach Prokit Springs (progressive, smooth and dont lower very much at all) with some nice KYB struts, and you have a cheap (roughly 500$) suspension setup that will perform nicely and ride better as well...
 
Thanks for pointing out the AWD FWD to me. I am going to pick up some AWD springs until I can save up for some good coil-overs. Thanks for the help.
