OK, i'm sure this has been asked a thousand and 1 times, but i am going to ask again. I've got $450 dollars. I need suspension badly, it's gotten to the point where it's acctually dangerous to drive my car

The rear end will physically BOUNCE off the ground when i go around corners or any small bumps in the road. I find my self countersteering while going in a strait line because my rear end is steering itself (impossible??)

Anyway what sort of good suspension can i get for the money i have, also i would like to lower my car a little .. maybe 1" ? what do you guys think. i WOULD like to go lower, but than my camber would become really bad. Also. How hard is it to replace the shocks/struts. the rear seems easy enough, just one bolt on the bottom, and 4 on top. are the front struts the same way? will i need any special tools?

what do you guys think about tokiko non adjustibles.. (can't offord 5-8 ways) and i'm sure the non adjustables will be better than what i have now.

Thanks. Any input/words of wisdom on this subject would be great.

You can get KYB AGX shocks from http://www.k2rd.com for $355 shipped. They are adjustable and I don't know anywhere to even get non-adjustables that cheap.

That only leaves you with $95, though. Springs are going to cost in the $200-250 range. You might need a little more money. Racing Beat Springs would be around $240.

looking to auto-x but want to stay stock for now....cheaper. Thanks

You can upgrade to any non-adjustable strut in stock class. Springs are off-limits however. Mazdatrix has stock struts.

EDIT - I guess KR2D upped the price. So much for that idea.

Sounds like your HICAS system is malfunctioning

I cant see anything from the site, its the FC3S part sais "New page under construction". For springs i would just go with a set of Eibach springs from one of your local dealers, they seem to be the cheapest and the people who've had them i dont hear much complaints as for the shocks, keeping it low you'll probably want to try to find something locally just so you can avoid large shipping costs or anything, but there are alot of good deals out there

Still a good deal for KYB AGX adjustable ($410). Have not hear anything but great information about these shocks.

HICAS was the system on 300ZXs, we have DTSS

lol, rxmfn7 i was just about to say something about the HICAS... Well, i've taken my rear shocks off before and i can acctually bend them, like the point where the shiney shaft goes inside the unit, it bends at 15 degree angles. Like i said, my rear shocks are BAD! they've got about 215,000 miles on them, so i dont suspect they'll last much longer..
it's basiccally just the spring(s) holding my car up right now.
