looking at a new suspension setup. Advice please :) :)

Hey guys,

It's time for me to get a new suspension system....

I'd like to lower the car and have the option to ride soft/hard...

What do you guys use? I'm a total newb in this area and would like to learn about the different setups and what's the most price efficient/per option available type thing.....

Thanks a million guys

Oh... Some might ask how much to drop...

Since I can fit a fist in my tire well... I would think a 2 inch drop would be good?
What do you guys recommend?

Oh, I have 15 inch mags

I've got the Eibach Pro kit springs & Tokico Premium Performance combo.
Handling is good but my ride can be rough at times -meaning I feel the road more than with the OEM sawblades i had.

it's pretty obvious that noone on here can talk about suspension fo max's without mentioning Tokico's. But nobody says anything about the Tokico Blues or HP's. Do they really not compare to the Illuminas? Between the two, is there any difference other than dampening? Thanks, just want to make sure that I buy what I want...

if your going 2" drop S-techs I've heard are far better than the springs. combine with AGX or Illuminas you should have a wonderful time.

Those shocks (blues, HP) are factory replacments, meaning that if paired with lowering springs won't give you the best setup and ride.

Yes, some people do have these paired with lowering spring but I said BEST.

The Illumina is MADE for lowered applications. Which is one of the reasons its adjustable.

If I am wrong, please correct me.
