suspension set & i'm about $500 short
just thought i'd share with you guys my purchase as of 2 minutes ago for
NEUSPEED SPORT LOWERING SPRINGS and TOKICO HP STRUTS/SHOCKS SET.
for 2000 LX Sedan.
i was going to go with eibach by 1.5 was too pussy for me and 2.0 was too much, so neuspeed offered a 1.7-1.9 which was just the right average. the shocks was actually based on research here. originally i was gonna go KYB but some people said not if you're going to have a drop around the 2" margin. hopefully everything goes well. i decided to just scrap the engine mod idea and just have fun with the suspension for now.

F.A.HIM: You'll likely have some negative camber slightly out of spec in the rear...now does that mean you HAVE to have a camber kit? No...it just depends on your tolerances for tire wear. If you want the longest life out of your tires possible, you'll probably want a camber kit. Look at the ingalls rear kit for our cars. I have the SPC...but I'd get the ingalls.
