A question from a new old member...

Watsup everyone, I don't know if any of you remember me but I used to have a 95 GLE and posted here a lot back in the day. Anyway, I just got an 04 Onyx SE and got a couple of questions to ask. Im now in college and don't really have the time to do research like I used to. What is the best shock/spring combo that I can buy to keep the stock height, maybe a little lower, and could handle more weight? Also, Im looking for an intake to improve my low end power... Any suggestions?

What FastMax05 said ^^^^^^^^^. Also coilovers are the best, however makes for a hard ride and not recommended for roads that may have lots of potholes.

I have Eibach springs and a Injen CAI and have had no major problems.

Quickfast How are you doing and what collage are you playing ball for?

I second the "Fujita" intake. It is the only one I have personal experience with. I love it. It was easy to install, sounds great....etc....check with RideTuner. He sells them.

Thanks, but I don't want to lower it that much (<, = 1") or any. I just want a more solid, stable, and stronger setup...
