_ethrty-Andy_ 2122 Report post Posted November 23, 2011 (edited) springs are supposed to dictate the ride height, not the shocks. you want to get some aftermarket springs. stock they do ride pretty high!

blakamin 0 Report post Posted November 23, 2011 (edited) Yeah, I've got aftermarket springs, but they've sagged a tad.. just enough to make them loose when hoisted Just want shorter shocks so they don't over-extend.

_ethrty-Andy_ 2122 Report post Posted November 23, 2011 Where did ya get them from? what sort of $$ brought my car with them already in it. not sure on price, but i have priced coilovers and they are around the 1500 mark to put it in perspective. bear in mind my car is a wagon though, so a bit more weight to support in corners. so to me they feel a tad soft in mine they would be good in a sedan probably Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
