tokico d-spec struts and progress springs. i just installed these struts and they are AMAZING! they have adjustable dampening. u can can contro how soft or stiff of a ride u want. or u could get progress coilovers.....but i can def. say these d-specs are AMAZING! and they are only $575 shipped from www.corsportusa.com i have about a 1 finger wheel gap AT MOST all the way around

some told me that for now i could just put springs on it with the stock shocks...i doubt that will be good...i gotta do all of it at once correct?

You can just buy springs, but eventually you will need the struts.

I just purchased a EP3 with Skunk2's and OEM struts, it has a nice drop, but I hate the ride quality.

So it really depends on your personal taste, but if you have the money, I would go ahead and do both.

Tokicos or better yet Konis and H&R springs. I've ridden on the suspension that a few Ephatchers have had and its nice.

If you like to adjust setting for Autox, then Megan coilovers are hard to beat and IMO would be my #1 recommendation with 14k front springs and 24k rear springs.

koni yellows + ground control coils are a good combo i think

Progress coilovers would be nice but you gotta wait for them. Next would be a set of D specs, konis are nice but takes more work to install. Megans are not bad either, im riding on a set right now. All are in your 1000 range.

Or how about a set of Bilsteins and spring combo? :msmile:

if you have that much money for a drop, why not get some coilovers? check the classified section, there are a handful of members selling theirs.

if i could do it over again, i would have done coilovers.

i do have springs with stock struts. had them since 2002 and have not blown any out.
