Spring + Shock Input
First all let me say I was looking at coilovers but spending $900+ is not in my budget for this nor will probably ever be. I no some will say just save your money and do it right the first time but I am honestly looking for the best alternative to spending that much. Another member recommended the following.

http://www.advancespeedshop.com/toki...zfr-p-913.html
1) Input on those springs and shocks? I have seen a lot of others on here using those springs, don't no anything about those shocks.
2) I see a lot of people saying how you need a camber kit, advice on that? Any difference that I have a lifetime alignment package through firestone?
3) Another member informed me that the stock endlinks would likely give out and some powergrid endlinks would be highly recommended for $150.
4) Anything else that would need to be added?
Like I said I am looking for my best alternative to spending close to a grand on a coilover system. I don't want to completely cheap out and just get springs and have issues in a year or two either though.
Thanks for any helpful input,
Sean

Even if you're on a budget, you're still looking at $500+ in parts alone, not including labor. And that's not including a camber kit, which you'll most likely need also. All the alignments in the world couldn't get you back in spec if your camber is off

search the forum, especially the socal marketplace and you can get all the parts your looking for, you will need the REAR camber kit if you drop over 1 inch and you could get away with out using the front camber arms, but its up to you honestly imo i wouldnt drop my car if im not going to go ATLEAST 1 inch, other than that it will look to much like stock and it wont be worth it, as for the shocks alot of guys have had good luck with the stock ones its just a gamble you have to take, but hey to each his own, just want to add my

If I get the 2 items in my first post along with this would that be everything I need?

It would only be $650, probably less. Input?
