    Suspension Upgrade

    my front end has touched the ground one to many times (actually 2). i need a stiffer suspension system. i do do not and will not use my car for autoX so i am not looking at any sport-tuned suspension. if possible i also do not want to lower my car too much because of the texas roads will kill me. ill do my research but ill apreciate any links too :D

    edit:
    also take into consideration that i am a working student. i think that is very important info

    okay then go to Autozone and/or advance and buy some gabriel struts/shocks they are inexpensive for the bugeting buyer. As for texas roads i feel your pain!

    yeah i have to agree, driving in lake charles or heading into the east on I-10 is horrible your car just jumps like every 20 feet but its kinda cool of your hauling ass.

    i have those on my volvo and the total cost with installation was 200 dollars.
