I desperatley need suspension, or atleast lowered. I gutted my s13 so its sits a couple inch's higher. I plan to use the car as a dd and autox at some point. But, I don't have cash to do a whole setup. I'm wondering if I could get some coilovers with my stock suspension to temporarly lower it and help handeling a little bit, then when I can get the struts and everything these will work with them, so I don't waste cash. any suggestions?

that would deffinitley be a waste of cash. sleeve overs are cheap junk, and you will spend more getting them installed than it is worth.

Im in glen allen actually, near the vcc area. But yea, i think I exagerated, it's probably about an inch. Even so it still looks bad :-P So what do you guys suggest to do?
