where to start? (suspension?)

[DoomTurboVisions]

this thursday i will have about 500 dollars to toy around with, unsure as to if i should get coilovers, struts n shocks, fix my fender or just save my money. I have a basically stock 240 hatch. What should i be doing first?

p.s. this is my daily driver!

you won't get any full coilover system for 500 dollars if your really hot on doing the suspension you could do a adjustable shocks and springs would be the practial way then you could also get some coil over springs to match try looking at ebay

You could also replace your bushings with polyurethane ones... but shocks are probably going to make more of a differance on a '90.

I can get the NEX SS full coilover suspension for about $550 brand new ot the GT series for $670 brand new. I only have these two sets and need to sell at least one set. my email is [email protected]

how would you rate both of these setups on a scale of 1-10? are the SS one really more bang for the buck?

[andauto]

The only difference is that on the GT series you can adjust the ride (dampening). Height is adjustable on both. If you dont plan on adjusting the dampening SS is the way to go. Depends on what you want.

You dont want that cheap stuff.

You should get the standard KYB AGX's (struts)and get some springs to put on them. I would suggest something that doesnt screw up the warranty on the struts. Thats basically anything that lowers less than 1.5 inches.

you could start by posting in the correct forum. and plan out your long term goals for the car, that way you dont waste money.
