I think this is what I'm looking for since I dont have 1k to spend on suspensions and I need to be able to pass winter whit them. I knew those existed but I thought they didn't drop enough... now that I see a picture, I like them... stock look, no boat.

Thank you everybody who helped me

yes maybe but with coils you can adjust them. the type 1 coilovers are only 620 flat...shipped too. that's really a good deal as you can choose how much you want to drop it. i mean, how much are you going to spend for 4 struts and 4 springs?

honestly if you want springs then it's your choice lol. im just telling you that i got coil overs and i love them. and if you're worried about winter, raise it. simple.:peace:

I was actually thinking that I would only buy springs and get them installed on my stock shocks... but since you mentionned the F&F shipped... when thinking about it, I won't buy them because I can't install them myself...

Anyway... winter's coming so I'll run 4x4 for that time and save my money during so that when the snow's gone, I'll spend my money on parts instead of labor.

I have a simple question... Can i use the stock cambers or do a absolutely need a set of adjustables ones?

well if you mean stock cambers as in leaving the car alone and dropping it...yea we can do that. if you mean can we adjust the cambers in our car? then no we can't. that's why we need to buy camber kits.

but yea save money till after winter. im going to need to raise my car soon after only dropping it for 2 months since that's when i got it. oh well :fail:

Thanks for the pics.
Were you on stock shocks there?
If so, how was the ride compared to stock, and how long did you have the springs on?
(Do you still have the springs?)

I was on stock shocks and the ride was little firm but still soft. I traded in the springs with some cash for AMR coilovers. Had the springs for less than 2 years and when they were off, my mechanic told me that my shocks were blown lol:duckhunt:......its funny that i could never tell they were blown when i was driving

coilovers are the way to go. Once you have em, you can just sit in your garage adjusting the height until youre happy. I feel as if with springs and struts, you get what you get and unless you have a lot of money, theres not much you can do about it.

i have the function and form type 2's with eibach springs and theyre a dream to drive on.
