I'm so confused, I still want my car to be fast, but I want to get a nice system, or should I wait for the system, and get the struts and springs first I'm on stock suspension btw. Who installs good systems here?

 

if i were you id go with the drop since it makes the car look so much better and handling improves, but if your not into that than go with a system

 

Do the suspension first, you'll have a big smile on your face for a week. With the stock suspension your rear end will sag if you have a heavy box in your trunk.

Check out the Audio forum, and look out for Don, 96PearlMax. He is an installer/dealer, located in Edison, NJ. He does very good work, for a good price.

 

I think it depends where your priority lies... Personally, I'd go with suspension first too. Isn't it also a lot cheaper than putting in a system? Suspension - $500~$600 vs. System - $1000 (minimum I assume...). Good thing I'm not an audiophile, and my Bose is good enough for me for now.

 

Actually no KYB AGX struts all 4 of em are around 380, and H Rs are around 225 thats like 700 plus installation so its close to 800. I guess I'll go suspension first still not sure

 

I went with system first, but only because it was easier for me to install and on long road trips, I'd much rather prefer to listen to my music than ride smooth. Only problem is if i don't have my system turned up loud, I can hear my blown struts thumping and popping over bumps and through turns and my car rolls like a SOB.

 

How did you blow your tranny, I drive my car hard occasionally and I worry about such things. What were the early symptoms? I guess I decided to go with suspension first, it's cheaper and I don't know lol.

 

Like everyone says, it's ultimately your choice. Don't do suspension just because evryone tells you to... If you spend a lot of time in your car and like listening to music, then go for the system. If you rather have tighter/firmer ride & handling (may not necessarily be better for you - it depends whether you like cushy rides and such ) with a dropped look, then go with suspension.
