Need Suspension Advice!! I am an all stock, clean slate.
All stock suspension except for a rear sway bar.
Here is what I am looking for:
In other words, I want to lower my car the least amount possible, but still make a noticable drop. I drive on speed bumps, rolled curbs: and roadways that defy the laws of gravity. My driveway is a rolled curb and as it is, I sometimes make contact with my bumper even with the super high stock suspension. I don't want to give my bumper a beating.
My second preference is comfort. Right now, I feel EVERY bump and jitter while on the roads. It feels like the wheels are directly attached to the body of the car.
So what do I need? Struts, shocks??? Gimme some advice and recommendations!

Honestly man, if you are not looking for an extreme drop and a comfortable ride coilovers are the way to go...air bags are hella comfortable but at the same time will drop your car to the extreme and will cost you a very pretty penny unless you can negotiate a price.

If your hitting now at stock height, your going to hit more even lowering just an inch or so. But H-Techs are a great ride with a small drop, but your still gonna hit your driveway. However, with air, you can raise up to clear the bumps, lower down some for driving, and slam when parked. I have a complete air package for 1,425.00, check out my website or PM for more info.

Unless you've got the $$ for air suspension, my suggestion is simply new Monroe Shocks & struts.
If you are scraping on the stock suspension, lowering it any amount is going to make it exponetially worse. Also any lowered suspension is going to give you a stiffer ride than stock.

Agreed. If you are sure you want to go lower, I say Tein H-techs or S-techs. S-techs would be dope.
