I want to drop my car it sits like it has a damn lift kit. So i want 2 get some coilover's
it has the z24 rims but i dont know if i should get a new set befor i lower it?
no buddy had a z w/ the bomex kit on stock wheels and it looked pretty good. just make sure you get a quality set of coils and struts to go w/ it.
so i should get struts what if i dont get struts will it ess somthing up? to i dont have a body kit or nothing but stock it looks like it has a lift kit so im going to drop it
im big on suspension so i hate when people do them wrong. oem struts are crap they can barely handle the stock springs. if you lower on stock struts they will blow. you'll be bouncing all over the place over little bumps and its not safe. do it right the first time and then you can forget about it. if you want coils you need either koni yellows or d-specs. that type of suspension brand new is gonna cost you like 600-900 bucks. that includes quality struts and a quality set of coils
It may run fine on stock struts for a little while, but they WILL go and sooner not later. Might as well get the struts and do it all at once.

ok well i will have to wait or find someone selling a set cuz 800 or more is alot for me right now so ill have to look around
You could always look into a pair of lowering springs with quality struts instead of coilovers. Check out the Suspension FAQ for some really good info.
Blown.
Bagged Cav is totally right. Do it correct the first time and save yourself the headache and money later.

YEAH DONT RUN ON STOCK struts, i blew my rear one out this summer when i hit a dip in the road, caused like 1 grand worth a dmg to the rear end, and my car was in the shop for a week,sine ive switched to monroe not exactly performance, but alil better then stock
I'm on coilovers on stock rims (winter time, plus I sold my 18's) and I don't think that it looks bad at all.
I HATE coilovers, tho. These were pretty cheap and haven't caused any problems with the car but they pop and crack and I wish I had my goldlines or even my intrax lowering srpings back. Much smoother ride.

get lowering springs in the g/p($99) and get some good struts like mentioned above. i have the yellow koni's. yes the stock struts will blow in a short matter of time, very short.
worse case get the springs in the g/p and then save for struts. im sure a g/p for struts will pop up faily soon.
ok I will deff hold up on that and just save up for the struts and stuff.
thanks every one for the input
