I am going to hold off until I can get both. My shop told me today they will install the sfc's for $100, so I am going to use the giftcard to pay for that (why leave them sitting around the house while I save up $100 cash, and leave a $100 gift card sitting around while I try to save up enough to = the next mod??? haha). So anyway, going to wait til I can do the springs and shocks at once, and the sfc's GO IN THIS COMING MONDAY!

It's not like you can't just get the springs now and later on when you
can afford struts and shocks install them.
Eibach Pro Kit or H&R Sport springs would be my choice.
If you can get the alignment correct you will not need
aftermarket C/C plates.

Yeah you do Duke309, my friend's shocks were completely blown after 7k miles on them. We could compress the shock in our hands with ease. Get new shocks, you'll really like the difference!! Also, in response to the earlier post by 03GTinFLA, what would be the point of doing springs now, and shocks later?? It makes sense to do them all at once, get an alignment and call it good. Just think, you'll never have to worry about it again!

Sorry, I thought I answered your question in my original quote

"Changing springs isn't that bad and taking it apart to put in shocks and struts would be easier the 2nd time because you've done it before and your new springs are easier to place and remove because they are shorter. And I like working on my car so it's fun."
I like working on my car and the job is easy. Also my car didn't need an alignment after springs. So if she doesn't have a lot of cash, and she doens't, then buy the springs, have a lowered car and when you have more money then do the shocks and struts. It's just an option that served me well because I'm poor and don't mind working on my car. But if she's going to pay someone to do it then yes do it all at once.

I would rather do it myself, but my husband won't let me use the jack. so I have to pay for install on anything that involves the jack, haha.
