Need a Suspension Recommendation

[ChiGGz]

Im lost, I bought this car with Tokico Blues Struts (what are struts anyways?) and Springs (1.5" drop.)
The car needs to be higher...I thinking a 1" drop is good enough for me, but I also want height adjustability, Im not worried about a rough ride at all, it keeps me awake at the wheel!

From what I have stated, can someone recommend to me what kind of coil-overs I can go with that I can use with the Tokico Blue Struts I have on the car already. I dont want to blow the struts and it wont ever be more than 1.5" drop.

Thanks everyone

really a lot of people use the eibach springs more than coilovers. i have aem coilovers and they ride pretty good with kyb struts. what are you looking to do with it. just keep it at onwe height or what?

Well I live in Canada so winter can get pretty bad here. Im looking at maybe 1" during no snow, the occasional 1.5" when I feel like pimping, and stock height during winter.

Just seeing if I can use my Tokico Blues for this, save myself a few bucks for the engine

ground controls are a coilover conversion kit. something like these are what you need. i would go with these, too, as most of the other conversion kits i have read about nobody seems to like.

Me And A Friend Of Mine Just Installed Eibach Sportline And Kyb Agx Struts On His 93 Talon The Spring Gave Him A 1.5 Drop But The Car Got A Little Bit Raised When We Put The Struts On So It Came Out To Be Just About A 1.0"=1.25" Drop Sounds Like What Your Looking For And Struts Are Just Another Word For Shocks

Q: What is the difference between shock absorbers and struts?
A. Struts and shocks are very similar in function, but very different in design. The job of both is to control excessive spring motion; however, struts are also a structural component of the suspension. Struts can take the place of two or three conventional suspension components and are often used as a pivot point for steering and to adjust the position of the wheels for alignment purposes.

Q: I often hear the terms strut and shock used interchangeably. Are they different?

A:Shocks and struts are similar in that they both damp (slow down) the vehicles motion. The key difference of a strut vs. a shock is that a shock only controls the cars motion while a strut is a locating member of the suspension. What this means is that if you remove a shock the spindle or axle will still be completely attached to the vehicle. If you remove a strut the spindle or axle will be able to move outside of its normal motion. Shocks and struts may or may not have a spring mounted to them either. It is often assumed that any damper with a spring is a strut, this is not the case.
