    Suspension Set Up

    Sup everybody, I've recently purchased an '04 EP3. I'm pretty much a newbie with everything, but I'm learning. My first modification on the car is my suspension. My brother and I looked around, and we thought the Megan Streets would be best for my budget. I'm also getting Buudy Club ball joints and Hotchkis front end links with it. What do you think? What other changes should I make with lowering my car? Thanks

    OK first of all, do you want the car to handle better or just lower it as much as possible?

    I just ordered some Megan's, they are currently on back order. I know three eps with them, one is a race kit. All three love theirs. One is slammed and the other two are probably no more than a 2-2.5 inch drop.

    The car is basically going to be my DD. The suspension is pretty much blown, so since they need replacement, I thought I'd lower the car. I just want the car to sit nice and low while maintaining comfortability. I don't plan to track or do any super aggressive driving with the car whatsoever - maybe some very very rare canyon running.

    I've decided to go with the Megans with straight arm lower bracket design and MOOG ball joints and end links. I was going to order them today, but I got sidetracked. Cambers, sway bars, etc will be put off for now.

    Where did you purchase yours? I think all sites I know have them on back order. I'm planning to buy them from CorSport.

    If you aren't going to do any crazy track days or hardcore spirited driving, there are plenty of suspension setups out there. Now that we established what you want out of your suspension, what is your budget?
