HOLY ****!! thats low and I know stock isn't low, but for me I just wasn't used to taking driveways sideways all the time. I effed my lip on the first weekend I had the car. Its gotten progressively better for me though. My new lip is doing fine as long as I always remember to pull in and out of driveways sideways.

I don't think I'll be doing any tracking with my sh!tty *** 6 speed. But your right I should just go ahead with the coilovers anyway.

Well on that note, anyone care to recommend a decent set of coilovers that aren't to pricey? Around 1k?

As for the coilovers, I feel like the stock suspension is low as it is. I'm on my second front lip already cause I didn't realize how low the front end was so I ended up freddy-cougar'n the first one . I can't imagine how much of a pain it would be to be any lower, even on swift springs.

But regardless of all that, I still want to have that low aggressive look, so I might just have to make a compromise and get the swifts over coilovers.
If it means anything to you, I am going to have to pay about $800 for each corner with my wheels and tires, plus $1200 to lift it high enough for the tires, then I will have to swap in 1 ton axles with lockers.

Unfortunately, suspension has changed too much since I last looked... The JIC FLTA2s that I had were around 1k... But I think there are better sets to be had for the same price.

Wow, thats a lot of money I wish I had. Right now I don't know whether spending my money is such a good idea when I could possibly be getting laid off. I don't think I will though, since they still paid out our bonuses yesterday. You would think they'd save that money if we were doing REALLY bad.

There are a lot of good ones out there that cheap.. If you plan on racing (Track/auto X) then I would suggest something like the JIC'sthat Jake said or some lower end Tein Coilovers.. If you just want Cheap there are a lot out there that are decent like the BC Racing Coilovers. ( I have those right now and they are not bad) and a few others that I can't think of right now..
