Default suspension

i'm looking (somewhere in the future) for "better" suspension. i don't really know what i'm looking for because i've never looked into the suspension side of things, but just as a general question first, am i able to get "Better" suspension without lowering my car? basically my friend said after market suspensions are stiffer but they are shorter and thats just how they are. am i able to get something stiffer at stock hight?

you could go with the eibach pro kit which has a minimal drop.

There are springs with high spring rates that wont lower the car much. The H&R OE Sport Springs are made for minimal lowering and added performance.

you should. stock struts will end up going bad with lowered suspension. Look into getting some Konis/Tokicos/KYBs.

I agree, but if you're not planning on lowering much (about an inch or less) you should be ok with your stock ones for a while.

Also, to add to your knowledge, it is spelled "suspension"
