Hey I was just wondering what springs will give the best bang for the buck. I am sure there is a thread on here about it as well. Whats going to be the best lowering spring for handling? Whats going to give you better handling for the cheapest ammount of money?

Tein Basics are best bang for your buck IMO

but I think AGX's and prokit springs would be overall the cheapest way to lower your car

I just thought it was an interesting subject to me. I was wondering who has what for suspension and hwo they like it/how it handles.

I just had eibach pro kit springs. Blew the shocks (of course) so I bought some monroe sensatracks, some spendy shocks, but not too bad.

congratulations on throwing your money away.

When your "spendy" shocks (struts) are blown in a little while do you plan on doing it right and getting some struts actually meant for lowering the car?

best bang for the buck...

The basics really are great for the price I've seen. Just take care of them and clean them when you can.

I'll throw an amen up to that. I've always been thrilled by the way my Z24 handles by only adding bracing and a rear sway bar. This coming from someone who has taken a different lowered and modded car to a season class championship in autocross.

Plus having 4x4 ground clearance comes in handy on the DD. My sig looks cool, but if it was the truth I couldn't drive this thing 1/3 rd of the places I take it.

Cheap? Suspension? Those two words shouldn't go together.

Your car, and your life and the lives of others in the car, rides on that suspension... do you REALLY want to do it up CHEAP? C'mon

^^^ listen to him, spend the money now do it right and you wont regret it, if you cant afford to do it the right way now just wait, dont go cheap on suspension

Guys, although I'm one that jumps on retards coming on here wanting to do stupid things, I don't believe his original question was aimed at "how do I get out of this cheap?", but what is the most cost effective way to do it right. He's got decent springs already, so I believe Darkstars' first post addressed it. The best bang for your buck would be AGXs.

Not that I would, but would someone with some suspension mods (bars and braces) be more inclined to safely reach the speed limiter. I read the thread that over like 110 the car feels like its literally coming apart.

QFT. there are lots of mods necessary to safely bring the car up to these speeds, and just by asking the question, I have serious questions about your driving ability.
