Are you talking about just replacing the springs/ shocks, or do you need bushings, balljoints, and tierods as well?
Try horsepowerfreaks.com for everything if driftmotion is out.

What are u looking to get replaced/upgrade?

 

[hvyman]

ya really what are you looking for?

you can get a decent spring/shock combo, sway bars, poly bushing, and other suspension parts like ball joints, wheel bearings, and tie rods for around a grand.

You can go coilovers for 1000..

i want to get a good coilovers so i can put my power on the ground, and ima try to get some road course runs...

My experience with Megan coilovers was not that great. Lots of adjustability, but very impercise damping from one to the next.. Swaybars and billsteins would be the better investment for a road course.

but would it have a smooth ride, to drive around the city?

Megan coilover ride comfort was not that great, smooth is not a word I would use for them...ever. My tokico/eibach setup was better in both comfort and driveability. Maybe I suck at setting coilovers, but I tried about 40 some odd setings before I realized the dampning rate never really changed that much on them...You can however drop the ride height till the frame rails hit the ground.

Bilsteins allow you to lower the car using the stock springs, this keeps the ride quality and comfort of stock without the 4x4 height. Thats what I will go with next.

Sway bars do not hurt ride quality; they improve it. When I swaped the stock sways for ST bars, the whole car changed. Dollar for dollar best suspension investment on the car.
