Kits are generally less expensive than buying piece by piece. Also, I was just looking at the V-maxx coilovers. They are $550 now, fyi, which would probably be your best bang for your buck. Here's a link:

They have a pic of a B5 as low as it will go. If you're looking to go lower, well, I don't know what to tell you, except to PM aledelic- his ride was slammed so low I don't know how he even drove the dame thing.

 

As a matter of fact, for $550, I'm thinking about picking up a set myself now!

 

damn thats out of my budget tho. cuz i also have to change my brakes

 

Do the brakes now, then save the money you would have spent on springs and get the vmaxx in a couple months for cheaper than shocks alone.

Of course, it's up to you. NeuSpeed and H&R make springs with about a 2 inch drop. I think they're about 200 bucks.

 

race springs don't fit fwd cars. i have a fwd, and i bought vogtland coils. they're coming in the mail in about 3 weeks. the closest u can get to a drop around 2" is to get h&r sports/ bilstein shocks setup which drops it around 1.5-2.0 inches...closer to 1.5 inches. im running 17's so i wanted a decent 2" drop. coils are the way to go, considering they cost about the same as getting ur stock springs/ shocks replaced.

 

since you're fwd, pick up some raceland coilovers while they're hella cheap

 

They are EXTREMELY cheap...

Though it states FWD Avant.

 

I was thinking Vmaxx for my FWD 2.8 but that price for the racelands has me thinking. How do those racelands ride? I don't want to cheap out and regret it later...

 

racelands are just rebadged vmaxx. at least that's how they are for a lot of vw's.. avant and sedan suspension should be the same..

 

just cut that isht, the cheapest way to go.............
