the owner im about the buy from says it may need new shocks and struts, what are the standard for this model for you guys?? a link to an affordable setup would be greatly appreciated.

 

Are you looking for performance shocks or are you looking for OEM-like shocks from a nice aftermarket brand?

 

im a noob and the car is automatic so i dont know if performance shocks would be neccessary, i dont know anything about this i was just hoping there is a preffered affordable setup for this model to make it easier on me lol

 

He is asking if you want OEM suspension (stock), something a little more sportier than stock (which will allow you to install a springs to lower the car just a little, or use OEM springs), or if you want to get coilovers and drop/slam the car. BTW, automatic trans has nothing to do with suspension.

At least, that's what I got out of it. If you decide you want stock suspension, I have a set of stock struts and springs from my 98. Don't even own the car anymore, so I want them gone.

 

its all going to depend on if you are wanting to lower the car too add to the look of it or if you just want to ride stock height. if your not going to lower it i would say just go to your local parts store and check out what they offer with a lifetime warranty. and those will even work if you do a mild drop nothing like tucking tires or anything. i am using O'Rileys "sensatrac" struts currently on my hatch and they ride nice besides the fact that i am sitting way too low for them and bottoming them out. but those should work fine for you and i paid like $45 for each
