[QUOTE="duh09, post: 1566357, member: 10558"] It's not too complicated, but there are a ton of options for these cars so it can be a bit overwhelming. What you described is pretty much what my car's build to a tee is going to be. I will have to recheck my front spring rates, I think they were a little higher than what I would have preferred, but its been literal years since I picked them up. They're Bilstein struts with UPR coilovers and Eibach springs, but don't remember the rates. M/M C/C plates. Will eventually swap out bushings for poly and probably end up with X2 balljoints and a bumpsteer kit depending on how the alignment turns out. Rear will be adjustable M/M RCAs, stock uppers, H&R SS springs, and Bilstein shocks. Panhard bar to round that out. Everythings currently sitting in the living room, waiting for me to start tearing down the suspension. The car is sitting on the H&R SS rear springs and cut factory springs and shitty C/C plates in my signature picture. Plan to pick it up just a SMIDGE to keep it relatively driveable and not rip the underside out of the car anymore. But it does look dope. Subframe connectors are on the list but haven't been bought. I'd like to go with a Stiffler's setup but they're pretty pricey so we will see what I go with when the time comes. This has pretty much been the formula for a low, decent handling car for a hot minute. If you're not wanting to go that deep, you can take a look through some of the photo albums and go with springs, shocks, c/c plates, and RCAs and be halfway there and still get pretty low. Coilovers aren't exactly required to get decent handling out of these cars, but the adjustability is nice. MM's different boxes are a good way to go for what your budget allows and then add on to later. I have gotten nearly every bit of my suspension setup used, the only new part is the C/C plates so deals can be made. [/QUOTE]
