quick suspension question

[jstcalmebatman]

so im looking to lower my car becuase yes it is a monster truck. anyways im not really looking for any handling changes. so do i just need lowering springs or everything? becuase springs are like 200 and a full suspension kit is like 1000. so big difference. anyways just wondering what u guys would recommend?

I would have a look for a sport suspension if you dont wont to spend a lot.

if you just buy springs, your going to mess up your shocks sooner or later. An aftermarket shock/spring combo should run about 500 or 600 bucks. The next step is coils but thats more than $1000. If you just want to drop it ever so slightly get the stock sport suspension, but i think you wont be pleased with the drop if you get it.

so basically you don't mind the car handling & riding like shit? you just want it to look better? If so just buy some cheap springs (i have seen teins for $159 online) and have them installed. Your dampers are probably at the end of their life anyways, but installing springs will help kill what life was left in the stock dampers. your car will look better, but since you kept the oem dampers that are not matched to the springs you installed it will still ride and handle like shit. but if you are happy with the look that is all that matters.

if you want to do i right, get a set of springs and dampers that are matched. several places like ecstuning & awe tuning offer kits w/ springs & dampers. the H&R springs w/ koni or bilstein shocks are a popular kit that rides well and looks good. but it will cost you more than $200.
