anything better??????

was talking to my boy tonight and he was telling me that he was getting a shop to work on his and his frends cars. he has a nine second nova, but any ways i was planing on him doing my suspension. about 2 months ago i hit a fricken curb in the city out at state pissed me off to no end...... so i need to replace the steering knuckle and the strut mount. figured that i should do the rest wile it is down there. so i was thinking of buying TEIN lowering springs but i dont know which ones. I dont hav money for rims yet and i think that a 2.2 inch drop woulnt look that good on OEM rims. also i was going to get tokico illuminas. if any one has any different sugestions kick them down. also when i might be able to find my replacement parts for cheap
(steering knuckle and strut mount)

let me know

Sorry to hear that, how much is it gonna run you to get that fix? I don't have any ideas or suggestion about lowering spring since I'm not too big on lower ride suspension.

I have Tein S-Tech's on my '00 SE on stock 16" alloys. It looks okay IMO. The drop is nice, but some will tell you too low. I would recommend them if you want a softer ride at a nice height. Definitely, Illuminas are a good step as well. Check out Southwestautoworks.com and Customenterprise.com to see some other options.
