Trying to decide what route to go here. I have a 16 boosted gt. Car is just a fun nice weather driver. Couple track visits a year. I have base shocks now with steeda springs. Im looking for a tad nicer ride and handling with a nice stance. I like the option of adjustable ride height. But is it worth the cost over just upgrading the dampeners and keeping steeda springs?

Keep in mind that every time you change the ride height, your alignment settings also change. How much they change depends on how much you change the ride height.

Yea i wouldn't mess with it after i got it set. I was thinking for more fine tuning the stance.

You'd be much better off with good shocks and springs than cheap coilovers. Unless you're going to spend $3k+, better off staying with good shocks and struts and your springs.

Do you have the Sport linear, ultralite linear or progressive springs?

I honestly can't remember. I think the older version of the ultralite linears. I want the car to have more drop in the front.

What shocks would you pick. Budget friendly here. I get married and buying house in next few months.
