You have to figure out what your plan is for the car and what your budget is going to be. These two things really determine what parts you will want to buy and use. I would be more than happy to talk to you about your car and goals for it. Mayeb we can get you set up with some BMR Suspension parts. If you want give me a call here at the shop (813)986-9302.

Thanks,
Kyle

It sounds to me like you are more interested in the cosmetics and over all look. The great thing is you will benefit from changing the suspension at the same time.

I just installed BMR's 1.4" springs all the way around and I am amazed at the way the car looks and feels. It looks like a total different car and now I turn more heads.

The car rides to me like it should have from factory.

Next step for me is sways, bushings, and trailing arms.

Kyle and his team took good care of me.

My opinion is if you want to change the suspension and you can afford it go with coil overs. If not, save up for them and don't get springs, the ride is stiff with springs from what I have heard. I do not have any experience with springs. I saved my money and I did end up buying BC Coil Overs, the ER series and love them. They are adjustable both up and down, compression & rebound I think it is called (30 different settings) and are under $2K shipped. Check out Mike @ Whiteside Customs and Auto Agenga(Brian), both are sponsors on here. The name brands like Pedders and such are excellent but are more costly. Like all have asked, it depends on what the goal is of your car. All that I have talked to on this forum will not steer you wrong but obviously want to sell you their product which I have no experience with but have heard good things about all the suspension products. Do a lot of research and good luck.

BMR Split drop springs is what I installed far exceeded my expectations. Can only afford a little at a time so Sway bars are next..

+1 on the Eibach springs and sways (Pro-plus kit). The ride is starting to feel like a true sports car.
