Default Suspension

My suspension is pretty rickety rockety and stiff.. Whats the most economical way to remedy this? I don't want to lose performance though.

I replaced my stock suspension with Bilstein struts and H/R Springs. Approx $600 for the entire setup, all 4.

you can get some of the cheaper k-sport for a little more than that, but they are sort of hit and miss (leaky, hood denting headaches)...

then, there's meagan racing coilovers which you can get pretty cheap as well...

that would def. be an upgrade if your other stuff is going out.

good luck

You could actually go with different springs and save some money too. I think I paid 250 or so for the H/R springs.
