How much are you looking to spend?

[gimp1]

I want to spend anywhere from $900 - $1600
obviously the cheaper the better since im a student and quite often struggle for money

i called Pedders and asked them about there Extreme XA coilovers. they look decent but i was quoted $1956.40 which was fitted with wheel alignment. 2k is a tad outa my range

You can buy Hotunning coilovers from evorobin on this forum, they are very cheap (think $850?)! I just got Ta Technix for my bora which are the same as hotunning.

Your probably going to need a new front sway bar also if that hasnt already been done

ahh k i see. that sounds perfect man. just a couple more questions, is the ride confortable at all? how much drop do you get out of the hotunning? and a ruff estimate on a new sway bar? :S

thanks dylan8 and everyone else

[evorobin]

Price for Hottuning is currently $800 thanks to a strong dollar. Drop is from 20-120mm. The ride is firmer than std but still very acceptable.

agreed

or fork out a little more and get weitecs from Robin if he still sells them

I can vouch for the HotTuning quality. Been running them for well over a year now and been faultless. As stated, stiffer than standard but still compfortable for everday driving

Its firmer, but for how low you are don't think you'd complain considering they were under $1k.
Drops is as evorobin said.
Im ordering a whiteline sway bar tonight hopefully, ~$300 including postage, some have got it cheaper though.

well all i can say is thanks so much guys, great help. i think ill decide on the hotunning once i save a lil bit more moneyyyysssss

again thanks everybody for there input, much appreciated
