Its kinda early I know but I'm trying to decide what to do when I get my yearly bonus from work. I should be getting around $1500. Would the v6 suspension kit from steeda be a good investment? And also would it be pretty easy to do all myself? __________________ 42% reduction crank and HO waterpump pulley K&N FIPK Gen II sct livewire

your going to put suspension kits on a daily driver??

hmm for some reason i don't see that being the best idea... rough ride, stiff handling... I mean it was great, when we were 16... even being 20 now, old right??

, and riding in my dads 350z i think that its annoying how rough it is

But yea I can see how such a stiff suspension could be annoying. I think may go with the stage 1 and 2 drag paks. Thanks everyone. So doing this myself wouldn't be too hard, I mean other than just takin a few hours, right? __________________ 42% reduction crank and HO waterpump pulley K&N FIPK Gen II sct livewire

Just depends what you like... I'm running coilovers in the front of my Fox, and while it's kinda rough, I guess, the handling improvement is WELL worth any trade-off. In fact, it probably rides better than it did when I got it.

my dad doesnt like how rough his cobra is... but he thinks his jeep is too bouncy.

he had a buick but sold it...8 cars was just too many

would front strut tower bars make the DD ride worse?

helps with realigning after weight transfer, and yeah you have to buy both stages if you get just stage 2 your gonna have a goofy setup lol
