I dont know to much about Suspension and I have about 450.00 to 500.00 to spend on Suspension. I was wondering if I can get a entire coilover shock setup for that? please help me choose the most and the best for my money, thanks alot. Im reading alot bout Suspension but it still dosnt help me to choose.

Save more money. I say do it once...........but on your budget its gonna be hard..... :( I'm not being negative, so dont take it the wrong way. I'm not saying you have to spend $1500+ dollars either.Its just that with that little to spend your gonna most likely end up buying parts that are not worth it in the long run. Another thing, It depends on what goal you want to acheive by replacing your suspension. Looks only, performance only, a little bit of both....... ???
 
I'm having the same problem, I want a new suspension,,but I don't know what to get, I've done a little research, and this is what I think I'm going to get.
A set of "Tokico Premium Performance Coil-Over shock" with a set of "Skunk2 coilover kit"
The shocks are $72 each and the coilover kit is $300.
Anyone have any opinions on this setup???

Yes....... heres my opinion. Save up another $100- and get ground controls. This way you can choose your spring rates. And you can always change out the springs then if another rate/rates are needed. As for the shocks........ get the illuminas if you want Tokico. Same thing applies..... for about another $100- you will get shocks that are gonna last longer since the car will be lowered. For a total price of about $200- more you are guaranteed to have a proven performance combination. The only other thing I can suggest is that if you guys are on that tight of a budget, you can pick up a Tokico Illumina Advanced Handling Kit. Usually they can be found for around $600- w/shipping included. The only problem being is that you dont have vehicle height adjustment. :(
 
If you are going to get coil-over springs just get ground control. then get some AGX or Koni shocks.
