So I wanna lower my 96 2.8Q. It has stock suspension, and I'm looking for any advice on the route I should go...

I was thinking about a stock sport suspension, but if I don't do that, what do you guys recommend I do? I honestly know very little about suspension (n00b here) so any advice is welcome!

Thanks,

 

How much lower do you want..?

If you don't care about going much lower, but want increased performance, I just posted this and it might help you:

It'll either help you decide you do want this setup, or you definitely want to go low and therefore want to avoid it.

 

Thanks for the help guys, I'm not necessarily looking for wicked performance by any means, just lowering a couple inches at most because the 96's have a TON of dead cat space up front.

I'm thinking about the Eibach pro-kit spring set, as it is a progressive spring that lowers about 1.4" in front and 1.3" in back, and is the only one I've found that doesn't say you need performance/aftermarket shocks and struts to go with it.

What do you think? I can't afford to do coilovers, but I'd prefer to not have to do shocks and struts right away as there are a million other things I need to pay for first (not car related) but just want a little better look right now.

 

Just save up for coilovers. Vmaxx is only $600
