Ride Quality...HELP

I was run off of the road several months ago. I've gotten all of the aesthetic stuff fixed. Now that summer has rolled around though, I've noticed that my ride quality SUCKS! When I'm driving, if i go over a bumpy road, i notice that my car starts to drift....I rotated the tires and that didn't work...so i figure "****, must be the suspension and what have you"...cuz when i went over a speed "hump" at a local park, at like 10 mph, the car couldn't handle it...anyway, I was wondering what I should get to fix this problem.

I want to get some lowering springs...screw all that fake coilover stuff. What else should I do/get to fix my ride quality, thanks.
If you could include rough prices (estimates) that'd be awesome!


I've had the car for over a year now...I'm thinking lowering springs(not coilovers, of any kind) and shocks

why not try taking it back to the dealer n get it fixed under warranty?

if not get true coilovers, 2cute is offering B&G for 1000 compared to 1600 retail.

springs = 150-200
koni = 500
installation = 200
= 900
just pay 100 more and get the B&Gs
