Default suspension recomendations?

so i've been debating on whether to get Vmaxx coilovers, or just go for some Neuspeed race springs with 2" of low

i know coilovers allow for MOAR LOW but race springs seem more appropriate for the shitty roads of minnesota. and would save me a couple of bucks on a skid plate (unless i took the roadsign approach :P)

what do you guys think i should do

vmaxx's are a hit and miss for people some people hate them some love them i hear there too soft and there garbage but that may have changed since there new designed if u was you i would go with H&R race springs and a road sign =]

i should have mentioned, i'm a 16 year old kid with a job that pays 8 dollars an hour, and i only get about 12 hours a week due to school :/


so a 1300 dollar set of coilovers is kind of out of my budget

Neuspeeds i found for 250
Vmaxx are 560.

we are in the same boat right now man! im planning out payments with a guy that has H&R coilovers!!! sorry to thread jack! but i feel ya man but it all depends on how low you wanna go and if it snows much or at all in MN then being able to adjust it up so your hood isnt under the snow when it snows 3 feet!

lol yeah, i'd end up makin everybody pay me for plowin their parking lots with my front end in the winter. good way to pay off the coilovers

but yeah, i'm worried about pushin snow, water on highways when it rains like a bitch, and pot holes which we seem to have about every 10 feet. :/

i'd love to go maybe an inch off the ground if i could haha

My man, save up for something better than Vmaxx. Brie just bought some ST coilovers, which is what I have, for about 760. I bought mine for a grand in March.

I like them.

Google! That'd be your best bet when it comes to finding the cheapest price.
