Okay I need a little input...

I've decided I want to slightly lower the car to improve the looks of the wheels I ordered last Sunday. But, I want the lowering job to also be for performance later on, not something that just makes the car look good.

So, from what I've been told, using stock shocks with aftermarket coilovers will quickly wear out the factory shocks, etc.

But that's just what I've heard. Would you recommend I just buy coilovers, or buy the whole coilover/shock kit?

Coilovers I've been looking at:
http://andysautosport.com/products.p...scat=Coilovers

Coilover/shock kit I've been looking at:
http://www.eautoworks.com/ORD-Auto~P...it-No-3711.htm

Suggestions?

Re: Okay I need a little input...

I bought just coilovers and kept the stock shocks...and yeah they are destroyed. I knew that it would happen when I bought them, but I wanted new ones anyway. I am going to buy a set of Koni Sports shocks.

Shocks are not something that you want to cheap out on, especially if you want it for performance as well.

Re: Okay I need a little input...

Start searching man, all of these questions have been covered thoroughly. Also, make your own thread when you have a question.
