Default Suspension Suggestions.

Okay, Ive put so much money into my car Im just going to finish it 100%. I want to do a suspension setup. I will spend 650-700 on everything. I want it to ride better than stock, and handle well with daily driving and possibly some Auto crossing..........Ive heard Koni shocks and ground controll coilovers? I dont really want anything that needs adjustment, but I do want a 1.5 or 2 inch drop..........750 is the absolute max I will spend. What do you guys think?

The Konis and GC's are great but you won't get them for $750 new... if you look around you might find a used set. You'll probably be ok with a good set of shocks and springs, though, I know Forty's been happy with his setup.

Someone's going to come in and suggest KSports, but since I've heard more bad than good from people who have used them for a long time, I'm not going to recommend them.

i agree with mxs, i was looking at getting the ksports and almost did but i found alot of bad topics on other forums about them. if u said you really didnt care about adjusting it, then get some koni's with some nice springs.

i've got ksports and i enjoy the amount of adjustability, they're fairly firm if you want to autox, and the ride is very crisp and edgey. i've got 17's with low profiles with bad tread, so i'm going with 15's with some nice rubber, then it should be fairly smooth. i've still got my skunk2 lowering springs as well as my oem springs and struts just in case i come into a big problem in the future. but i've heard a lot from the koni/GC combo though
