I'm looking into new springs...

What do you all recommend as far as far as ride quality, handling, and price are concerned?

Advanced Suspension, Chassis, and Braking Talk about suspension geometry, advanced handling/chassis setup, custom brakes, etc. NOT your basic brake pads and "best drop" Information.

Take off your springs

Weld your struts together at your new ride height

Boom! Sick tyte stance mad handling and you can even remove your swaybars for weight reduction since they don't do anything any more.

Moved to I30/I35. This isn't Advanced, but more basic, specific to generation.

I just installed some Monroe Quickstruts on my '96, and couldn't be happier. At $165/front and $125/rear for complete spring, shock, and all the rubber bits, it really is a great deal. Stock ride height is retained.

Is your lowered? Do you plan on lowering it? Do you have aftermarket wheels, especially heavy ones?

These are all questions to ask yourself among many others, when thinking about new struts.

Yes the fronts are very the same it's the rear that are diffrent on the bottom coil! The I35 coil is a larger diameter and the I30 uses the smaller diameter!
