I have a 95 esi. and I want to upgrade the suspension. But im not sure what to get. I have heard a lot of different things. I just want to get some help so i can get it ordered and on before the shootout. Thanks if you have any ideas let me know.

I have Tokico Blues... and my ride is VERY smooth, I also have Neuspeed springs, but you can get springs just as good for cheaper, not sure what springs to get, but a lot of ppl have the Blues, and like them a lot :thumb

What do you want with your car? just to lower it...go with eibach pro-kits and the blues.. there cheap and very very high quality. and there not to low of a drop

Eibach Prokits tend to sag after a while like an extra 2 inches.....go with H&R OEM Sport 1 inch drop ones and a set of Tokico Illumina adjustable shocks. I've had mine maybe 2 years now and they haven't sagged.
But, you may notice that one side of your car sits lower than the other side. If you really want a level car you will need coilovers. Don't be confused with the ability to easily change the height. You set it to what you want it to be then leave it alone. Any change in height requires another trip to the alignment shop to adjust camber and toe. If you don't get toe adjusted then you will ruin tires faster than you can imagine.

I'd go with, ultimately, TEIN or the likes. Second choice would be Tokico Illumina or Koni Sport with Ground Control coil over. Third choice would be the same shocks with springs that don't lower too much.

Eibach Pro-Kit AWD springs will sit a little higher and have a stiffer rate than FWD springs.
Cheap but effective: Tokico blues w/ stock spring (minus a coil or so) :thumb
