I also have a question about suspensions. I don't wanna lower cause firestone doesn't honor your lifetime alignment if you lower it. so what are so good struts for oem? stiffer? auto-x?

I like my eibach pro kit. Good for a daily driver.

You can get MSP springs and struts. Very minimal drop and better spring rate.

Just using rear msp spring and P5 struts makes the rear look a little droopy, this is curd by using the MSP struts in the rear.

Best street combo would be Espilar Springs mated to TOkico blue struts

If you're worried about alignments, and Firestone, don't mess with the suspension.

I plan on doing the MSP Spring/Strut swap in the next few months.

I second the espelir and tokico blues.

P5inMD - have you contacted your local Firestone? The Firestone shop I have my lifetime alignment from will not honor it if I lower it. However the Firestone a few miles up the road will as long as I bring in the specs from the spring company. Each shop's policy varies, just make sure you get a spring that will give you those specs.

I'll take your advise. ty. I gotta get new brakes so I figured I'd upgrade the suspension while the wheels are off
