Newbie here.
I am plannign on replacing suspension soon. Over 150k on stock setup and very noisy and rough from worn out springs/struts.
I am planning on replacing the struts with the stock ones (Monroe). Really don't feel like paying extra since I can get the kit for dirt cheap.
I am thinking about putting the Tein H. Tech springs on as well. Would like a lil upgrade from stock and this looks like the best option. .4 inch drop all the way around and can be used on oem struts.
Also should I plan to replace all the strut bushings as well?
Never really messed with suspensions till now.
Anyone have an input. I know this is probably been posted a million times, but a simple answer to solidify my decisions would be great! Thanks

 

So you intend to replace the springs and shocks? May I ask what is considered as dirt cheap?

 

Well here is the thing. I wish I would have looked on here first because I see there are placing to get coilovers for a great price, but I already got the monroe struts. Got a set of 4 for 190. I can get the springs for 180 and mount and boots for 60. So I feel like this is the best option.....
Will this setup work?

 

That is dirt cheap, and due to the pricing that is a good option to go. I guess it depends on how much you are willing to spend. When I originally lowered my car I pretty much did what you did. After awhile I didn't like that fact that I couldn't go lower. So I went and spent more money on coilovers.

 

Yea I wish I would have waited and looked around and found coilovers for only a couple hundred more, but I've already invested some money in this option. Thank you!

 

So I just completed the project. Tein H tech springs with new monroe shocks/struts and new mounts and boots. Very similar ride characteristics as stock with a little more aggressive look. Very happy with the results so far especially since my rear shock absorbers were shot, front springs were rusting, and both front and rear mounts where beyond gone.
