suspension advice
im looking at getting a thirdgen pretty soon, either within a couple weeks unless the guy sold it already or sometime during summer, and i want to know what the best suspension stuff is for the price.
all ive really looked at is spohn stuff and it seems hella nice but its a little pricey too.
if its only like 25% cheaper to buy crappier stuff then yea im gonna spend the extra, but i would like any of your opinions on who makes good suspension components for a decent price.
im thinking like at least 7 out of 10 performance-wise.
im not against spending a lot for good stuff but i would like to save where i can as long as it doesnt compromise too much performance.
(im really tired at the moment so sorry if i repeated myself or anything)

Check out UMI Performance
www.umiperformance.com
They're a board sponsor, & have a pretty good reputation for
cost effective stuff. Spohn is more expensive, but better in-so-far
as strength is concerned. UMI is good for modest upgrades, but
if you're really gonna flog the car, go with the extra strength.

Re: suspension advice
Why not go with a little from all of them? They all have their strong and weak points, so get the best product from each company.
When your ready to actually buy the parts go to byunspeed.com. He has all the vendors products and also has free shipping on every order over $100. I EASILY saved $150+ on shipping alone by buying through him. Good Luck
