    In terms of suspension...

    I recently blew out my rear left strut on my car, the guy i bought it from said he had kyb springs on it and im not sure on what the struts are but i assume the same brand.
    I would like to raise it back up to stock height simply because the roads around here are complete shit and full of pot holes...


    What would be the best brand to get i've been looking around and im not sure if i should just go ahead and get quick struts or what, if there are some that would maybe only drop it an inch or so that wouldn't be bad but i don't drive a honda and i'd like to get my front lip off the road,

    You could get adjustable coilovers so you can set your own ride height. But you most likely won't want to spend all your money on that, so you can just find a set of stock springs and toss those on.

    Alright, well i've been looking around on extremepsi.com and a few other places and so far they don't look too expensive for performance ones, one mechanic told me it would be around 800 dollars to order them and put them all on.

    i was like yeah screw that if i wanted to spend that much i'd just get coilovers like you said haha

    kyb struts are stock on our cars iirc. Tokicos are good if you are stock height to a slight drop.
