need a little advice from you guys

Ok so I have decided that my car (2003 lx 2 door) could be a little lower to the ground. I dont want too go to drastic 1.5" will be fine. the roads around here suck. I wiill get a camber kit just cause it keeps thing adjustable and I am proably going to use eibach springs but i am open to opiinons. But my question is what can i do about struts? I knowin the suspension faq it says koni inserts are the only thing but I dont like that and would like to see more options but i guess i am not the only one Little advice onm what i should do about struts. Coilovers the only way to go? or just leave it till something better comes out?


thanks

not if they are sportlines. they will be fine for awhile, but you always run the risk of them blowing no matter what. Konis are the only available performance shock. KYB AGX is rumored to be out, but no one knows for sure. KYB GR-2s aren't performance shocks. Right now if you don't want to do konis, i suggest getting Tein basics. If you are doing the eibach prokit then you can get away with no shocks and no camber kit most likely.

eibachs are o.k. but you will find the H & R progressive rate springs are better.
LOwer the same but no sacrifice in your ride comfort.
