2G Blown Shocks, Stock Height Replacement

[AgaricX]

It is time to replace my shocks and springs on my AWD Spyder. The GSX shocks have been blown since the install (I got all the parts for $400), but I am just now getting to replacing them.

My wife doesn't want to drop it at all, but I want a good, adjustable performance combo. No more than a 1" drop. Does anyone have suggestions? I don't want to install a camber kit. Coilovers are great if possible.

I have Illuminas on my turbo Maxima and am very pleased, but they seem to drop it too much. The area we live in is very hilly with poor roads and a lot of dips. Stock height or close is a must. Obviously I'd like to go as inexpensive as possible, as we won't be autoXing or dragging. However I don't by crap... ever.

Shocks don't drop the car. But springs do.

If you just want a good daily driver setup without all the drop you should look at getting Illuminas and Prokits or H&R OE springs.

If you want something that cheaper and are still a decent replacement, you can get some Tokico HP's (blues) or get something with adjustment go with the AGX's. Either will give you an improvment over stock while being quite cheap. Pair these also with the springs mentioned above.

You can go cheaper yet though I'm sure if you want it completely stock. You can even reuse your old springs to maintain your current ride height on whatever shock you choose.

I hope this answers some questions for you,
