Default Suspension

Well since mine is shot and i want to replace it, Anyone got a rough price on a good, but not to expensive suspension set? Im looking for all 4, shocks, springs, mounted with the strut mounts. looking to spend as little as possible, without getting some cheap pos. Im not tryin to cheap out either its just, I picked up a koni red adjustable set, with b&G springs and they blew after about a week, and i only need a 1.5 drop. Also rear stabilizer bar end links, would they affect the height if the holes threads are stripped and i forces a bolt in there? And also, any rough pricing on a lower driver side ball joint + Labour? Thanks!!

check out P.I.C coilovers. Tekonotik carries them. I'm actually going to be picking up a set in the next couple of weeks. Moderately priced and good quality!

How the hell did they blow after a week? How do you know they're blown?

I love my Buddy Clubs, but it's a bit hardcore for a street setup. Call John at Option and see what else he has in stock.

My brother's D2 made that noise cause he did not preload the suspension.

It could be your bushings. Don't spend money on a new setup until you find out what the real problem is. Those are good shocks.
