what up fellas, ok my 21st bday is monday so that means present time!!!! its about time im fed up all that damn wheel gap! my prob is i dont have enough for the springs and the shocks? is it that big of a deal to just put some springs? and maybe the shocks later? i have a lot of gappage so i need a decent drop. im gonna say sprint maybe? what do you all think? also how difficult is it to change some rotors? i wanna order the cross drilled from ebay...

sal

 

Want a drop? Sprint or Intrax

Springs now, and shocks later is fine

No, it's not difficult

 

just save up and wait...its a waste to put springs on stock shocks and then have to replace your shocks a few months down the road when they blow...just wait and do both at once(new springs, new shocks)

x-drilled rotrs are a waste on a relatively stock car...Brembo blanks are all you need...$100 for 4 and be done with it.

 

You should definitely wait and get both springs and struts. I'm glad I did. Just finished putting on my lowering kit last thursday. It's ST springs and struts. They were $345 total shipped.

Yeah... I want to lower mine too, I just don't know how much I am legally allowed to though...

spipedong90 it was $345 for the springs and shocks? i was planning on spending like $200 just on springs i thought the max took struts? and tey seem expensive to? i want a nice set-up nothing like top of the line but not anything cheap.

 

da-sta i ahve drum on the back i would on need 2 rotors... what the difference between the 2?

 

Yep, for $345 I got 4 springs, 2 struts for the front, 2 shocks for the rear, and shipping. I figured that at that price, any NEW struts would be better than stock. I originally wanted tokicos, but they were financially prohibitive.

 

Your ride looks nice spipedong. I need too many damn things for mine...I gotta get my y-pipe and other problems fixed first.

Hey Maxine -- shop around a little and you can find a package. Or wait until someone is selling their springs in the for sale section, in which case you will likely save some money that can be used to buy the struts and shocks. Patience is an important part of modding your car

 

the st struts...shocks wutever are 165 plus shiping on ebay.

 

cut coils as a low cost short term solution.

 

Not to mention a most retarded and ricey move....

 

i have intrax with stock sturts for 6 months now rides not as bad as every one says, i get by, but just do it at once it u have some one else do it. do when ever u want it u do it.

 

you deserve that one.
What a way to mess up handling

 

I'll getcha back, you just wait....

 

I'm waiting .

 

in that case even better...half the price. you can get a set of Brembo blank rotors for ~$50(left/right front), match them with a good set of pads and you're straight. no need for x-drills yet

 

or ever really

At what point would the cross drilled be better than the blanks?

 

If you're auto-Xing... the whole cross drilling is really just for cooling tis all...

 

would slotted be a good option to get for someone who doesnt demand extreme performance but likes to stop confidently? what are the advantages of slotted? anti-glazing?

 

Didn't we cover this within the last month?
the whole blamk/xdrill/slotted debate.

 

we cover it every month

 

One can say that about almost every single subject tho....

 

Hey I've only been here a month!

 

search!

 

I do. when it works right

 

doesnt the drilled and slotted rotors tear brake pads apart? thats what i heard.

 

Peoples I found this sight called SHOX.COM they have all four for a decent price. I purchased all 4 tokico hp for $300. the eibach for $225.
