Before you lower it get rid of the H symbol in the rear window lol

I would change the stock shocks to something aftermarket. What is a good shock for a car on a set of lowering springs? I checked at my local auto parts store and the pricing they gave my was pretty high. It was like $190 per side on the front and like $100 on the rear just for stock shocks and he said more if i lower the car. I will loose the bosch plugs never knew they sucked in imports.

tokico hp shocks are good if youre on a budget. handles upto a 1.7 inch drop and costs around $350 for a set of 4. should last you at least 5 yrs.

ok well 350 for the HPs then lets say 175 for good brand springs maybe more thats already thats 525 without taxes and shipping when you can get full coilovers for 800 850 so you do the math.

Yeah it makes sense to go with coilovers because really i am going to spend only a little more cash but have a much better end result. Thanks for the info.

^especially because you have stereo equipment in back.

i would DEFIANTLY SUGGEST looking into coilovers due to the adjustability factor.

tein BASICs are great. they ride very comfortably and handling is also dramatically increased. plus i believe they are not too expensive.

He's right, i got tein basic dampers on my 02 EX and im super happy with being able to adjust them. I drove up to illinois this fall and after i raised it up as much as i could i could definitely tell that it took away the sharp jolts from the crappy roads.
