Default Suspension opinions?

Whats up guys, i have a 1994 Mitsubishi 3000gt N\A. I want to change my suspension but im on a budget. Anyone know any combos or coilovers i can use to have a smooth comfortable ride and at the same time have a nice drop? I did check the search button but nothing showed up Thanks!

It depends on how much you want to spend. If all you want is a drop, then i would go with just lowering springs. But if you want increased handling then i would first get a bigger rear sway bar and then either coilovers or lowering springs.

When i put in my new rear sway bay the car almost completely lost its habit to understeer the car now handles great, and of course with coilovers it will handle worlds better.

but if all you want is a nice drop i would go with lowering springs.

david

your not going to have a smooth/comfortable ride while having a lowered car.

search for megan racing coilovers...

they can be found here for like ~$870 shipped:
http://www.ipsmotorsports.net/
just so you know, they don't have them in stock, they get them shipped from megan racing straight to the customer. i am still waiting on mine that i bought earlier this month as MR didn't have any in stock...

i hear you will probably need rear control arms (i started a somewhat similar thread)
installing coilovers - what else will i need?
