Hello,

I have a pretty much stock, with bolt on 2002. Right now my rear shocks are shot, and I am looking to do the entire suspension eventually, but want to start with shocks and springs. And have a couple of questions…

I want to do minimal track, but this is mostly for fun on the street (legally of course) . I care more about cornering than hooking up from a dig, but I want to help both and I want to lower the car.

I am willing to sacrifice a pretty good amount of ride quality for performance and a high spring rate.

1. Is it better to stay with one company so I know that all the components are made to work with each other?

2. Are coilovers worth it?

3. What is the best combination for me, either in a kit or separate; of shocks and springs. I am looking to spend a moderate amount of $, but I still want the best bang for the buck. I also want the combination to be designed to work well with more involved suspension upgrades, swaybars, control arms, etc..

Thanks for your help

Tai

Do you want to switch out the struts too?
