Best suspension drop for less than $1k??

brianryan8 · 01-24-2012, 07:27 PM

Hey guys. I'm looking for an inexpensive way to drop my car without loosing performance and smooth ride.

I was looking into the swift springs or BC Coilovers. Any suggestions?

Swifts are very popular and match pretty well with the stock dampers.

They are the way to go.

+1 Swifts FTW

yah, swifts + rear arms seems to be a popular choice.

maybe throw in a set of whiteline swaybars too.

GaleForce · 01-24-2012, 08:45 PM

Yeah, forgot about the Whitelines... Do it!!!!!

Swift + Sways + Camber Arms all for under $1K. That is going to give you a really good street/light track setup. Add the Koni's later on when if you want to up the trackability.

Honestly megan springs go the lowest, the ride is very comfortable and responsive, for 160 dollars they settled at 1.75 front/ rear. Love them

Can't go wrong with Swifts or Eibach Pro-kit

What is a rear arm? Is that a sway bar? I thought my 370 already has in the back?

It refers to replacing the stock rear camber arms with aftermarket ones. Typically, the stock arms do not provide enough camber adjustment with shorter springs in place. SPC makes decent arms that easily accomplish this objective.
