please lower it........if your concerned cuz the roads are bad, the drop on most springs for 240's aint that much of a drop and i know since i have s-techs and tokico shocks in the rear and gr-2's in the front the ride is really really good.

Roger that. Now I need to someone with a heat gun and a bat or a roller and get to work when I get back home (gotta love being away from home for work).

What do you think about Eibach ProKit and KYB AGX? Or should I just say bump it and go w/ coilovers (and drive like a madman avoiding all sorts of road crap). Honestly, I don't think I would be able to park in my garage anymore if I go w/ coilovers.

OKapparently you aren't to suspension savy, so let me clear a few things up

spring/strut comboWhile a few hundred cheaper, your set at one height, at one springrate that someone else says you needits not a bad deal if you get it all used for liek 200 bucks....but paying new for springs and shocks is dumb in my eyes.

CoiloversNow, what makes yuou think that becuase you get coilovers you have to be slammedYes some people, like me, advocate it, but you dont have toUse the heihgt adjustment to your advantage. Lower it, drive in your garage, if it scrapes, raise it 3 or 4 turns at a time until you dontThen you will be as low as possible, and still do everyday functions

i personally dont mind scraping, its metal, no big deal.....but im going airride on my coilovers, so it doesnt matter anyways

I have coilovers and I wouldn't have it any other way. Not saying it can't be done any other way, but like Yokota said, with being able to adjust to the height of what you like and what's safe around where you live there is really no replacement for that. Spring/strut combo you install and hope you like....

You guys are crazy. I don't take offense to what Yokota or anyone says. I take it with a grain of salt and know who to listen to for sound advice. Thanks for all of the replies and advice.
