suspension redo

right now im running tokico blues with a GC coilover. im starting to get tired of the harsh ride and pains in my @$$ and back. im going to redo the suspension. now here is the question. should I just redo the suspension at one time, or should I get the springs for the time being to soften the ride have them installed and then go back and put some illuminas on. im looking at the H&R, or the tokico springs

GC with Blues was a mistake for sure. The springrates are a bit high for those. I say do it right, the blues won't be very useful if the springrate is much higher than stock. Get some info on springs and I think many people on this board have good things to say about Illumina's.

Even though you may need longer to save up I think you will be happier with the result. Spend more time upfront researching.

ive had he car for 2 months. all ive been doing is research. reading, reading, and reading somemore. im going to go with he illuminas because they are externally adjustable. the springs i've been having a hard time choosing. if i 2 step the suspension im going to go with the H&R/Illumina setup. If i do it all at 1 time im going to go with the full tokico kit
