Newmarket,
Hi guys,

My shock is blown on rear right. I was thinking to do my suspension since I have some money right now. I was looking think either coilovers, or shocks + spring combo. I was wondering if I need to get camber kit with either one. I have no idea when I do need a camber kit, please if someone could explain to me. I am looking to keep the ride height stock through this winter, so I was thinking to go with coilovers, so then I could drop it in the summer an inch or so. I found ones for 600 bucks with lifetime warranty.

Let me know,

Thanks a lot.
 
I can get the Illuminas on my stock springs too right? And then replace stock springs with those eibach's after winter? Just if you could verify that for me, that's all I need now, to make this purchase.

Thanks a lot for your help.
 
Well I have decided to go with Illuminas and eibach pro kit, and will get the RRE camber kit also. I was also thinking to get new boots, and new strut mounts while i am at it. Can someone help me find the ones that would fit my setup? I saw some KYB ones, but I am not sure if they will fit or not, or are they all the same? Let me know, I am looking to make this purchase asap. Thanks guys.
 
Yes, illuminas will fit your stock springs. As for strut mounts try the dealership or places like Autozone/Napa.
 
I mean, the strut mounts, they are all pretty much standard right? I saw some KYB ones, but I dont know if they are meant specifically for their shocks, or will fit Illuminas as well. My guess is that they are all standard size, stock, but if you could verify, would be great.

But anyways, me and my buddy decided to do it, I'll let you know how it goes, will probably be in a week or two, since I have to order the parts now. I am going to go with the whole package, as you recommended. Thanks a lot for your help, it helped me clear up my choices. I'll let you know of my progress on here, and if I have any questions with installation. ;)

Yep, the Illuminas will be fine with them since they're pretty much OEM replacements.
