Mad Sagging

I believe my car is sagging a lot cuz the front air dam scrapes on everything. It probably has the original springs and shocks on it. What do I need to get to fix this problem???? I have no idea what would fix it. New Springs or Shocks??

depending on how much sagging, i would invest in some eibach pro-kit springs, they give an overall great stance to the car.

they are like 230 bucks, and can be installed with simple hand tools and a rented spring compressor to get the old one out.

most will say for a daily driver you cant go wrong with kyb shocks and struts.

two front struts, two shocks, and the pro-kit will run you about 400 to 450 bucks depending on what kinda prices you can find.

The pro kit only lowers stock unsagged springs. It will actually prob raise your car

Try auto zone or any part store around ur house for the springs. Also i dont think u could get just the front or back for the eibachs they sell them in a kit.
