I wanna lower my mud truck


So the time has come for me to start considering suspenion upgrades on my daily driven 97 gst. Id like some opinions on what Struts/shocks and bushings to get. I'd also like a pic of said setup. The roads around here are far from good and we tend to get a decent amount of snow so I can't go to low. I just wanna fill in the wheel gap I have now.

It sounds like something that is height adjustable would suit you.

What are your performance goals? Or is this mainly to improve aesthetics?
What is your budget?

Eibach pro-kit and KYB AGX or Tokico shocks. Done and Done. For a drop and a decent ride, you don't need anything else.

no real budget in mind. I know I gotta pay to play. Just looking for something that rides good and wont be teeth shattering. No real track time is gonna be seen in this car so im not really looking for that. Just something that will hug the corners and look good doing it. I already plan to upgrade to poly bushings and 3g rear suspension arms with the sway bar but im tired of the wheel gap as well..
