Buy upgraded shocks and keep my Tein springs or buy coilovers?
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone
I have a small problem. My car bounces all over the place and I think I need new shocks. I'm @ arond 70K+ miles on the ODO. I'm the type of guy that would like to upgrade a bit when parts need replacing. I would like to spend under a grand.
Here are some key factors:
I drive 120 miles a day so I need something comfortable and reliable.
I currently have Tein lowering springs.
I drive like a grandma.
I want to maintain my lowered look
I sometimes run staggered wheels that tend to rub in the back. So i need something that doesnt have much suspension travel.
Should I get upgraded shocks and keep the springs?
Toss in a few extra hundred and get a coilover setup?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks!

well if you dont drive crazy or anything shocks sound like a good idea. I hear not so great things about Tokico HPs but im sure it'll be a small increase over stock, they run under 400. I dont know exactly how much the T1R dampers cost but they sound like your best bet! If you really want coilovers Tein Basics or Enduratechs sound like a good idea if you want to maintain comfort

Speaking from experience. Based on what you describe and how you drive, the T1R's are beyond perfect for you.

That's not what the post said. Yeah, I know he would like to sell his Megans. It takes awhile to sell some stuff on this site.
