Well im kinda new when it comes to suspenison. All i have done right now is eibach lowering springs( The previous owner put them in and i think he said it was a 2" drop) Im tring to find something that will make my ride quality a little better becasue now it is rough as s*** and i can feel every little bump i go over. I was wondering what my next suspension mod should be to make the ride better. Sorry for the long post and questions. I have $500 btw.

first off check the springs and verify what kind they are, if they are Eibach Pro's they will be black and they say eibach on them

well eibach pro's are a progressive rate spring that's not too hard. if you think it's too hard for you, you should switch back to stock springs

Well i can handle it and i dont think the cheap tires i have on the car are helping either. I was wondering if i should throw on some shocks and sturts and c/c plates. Would they even help with the ride quality?

Yes, that would be the number one step to improve the ride quality.

For $500, you could *almost* get a set of Bilstein shocks/struts which would be a huge improvement. The only other shocks/struts price off the top of my head would be Tokico blues for maybe $300+ but the Bilsteins are definintely worth the money.

Well i dont think that extra $34 is gonna kill me. Also are they hard to install or should i be able to install them myself.

install them yourself is what im hearing. im gonna try it when i do mine. i heard the springs are easy and there are a bunch of tech articles on this site and others explaining the install. how hard is it to install the struts?
