You want it cheap and fast, huh? Kidding.

Depending on your mileage, you can do what I did.

I went with Eibach Pro lowering springs...used the stock shocks and kept it that way for 60k+ miles. Then I went with KONI Yellows and used the same Eibach Pro lowering springs...

TireRack is running a special right now... $220.



BTW, NICE WHEELS!

Nice job. I can get a good guy named Bryan (SC_Highlander) to "help." I mostly supervise and he performs the quality work.

Hmm...I'm thinking this is worthy of setting up a Charlotte TECH DAY at my house. You agree??

I guess it's the season for new wheels then. Test fitting, to make sure they clear the brakes:
