Ownage Suspension!!!
Hey, I know you guys must be excited by the thread name......but.......haha
Its actually a question!!!!
I am looking for some suspension mods (hell, 1k good suspension vs 3k for turbo, screw it)
So anyhowww I would like to ask you what are some good stuff to do to your suspension to make the car ride better and turn curves like crazy
I also want to know whether there are any springs/coils/ whatever I'm dumb
that I can put in and would make my ride height the same, and possibly a bit higher, because I am putting in a bodykit, and dam it all the bumps and crap here in Socal is a pain!!!

There was a turtle by the name of Bert
And Bert the Turtle was very alert
When danger threatened him he never got hurt
He knew just what to do
He'd duck and cover, duck and cover
He'd hide his head and tail and four little feet
He'd duck and cover!
He hid beneath his little shell until the coast was clear
Then one by one his head and tail and legs would reappear
By acting calm and cool he proved he was a hero, too
For finding safety is the bravest wisest thing to do
And now his little friends are just like Bert
And every turtle is very alert
When danger threatens them they never get hurt
They know just what to do
They duck and cover, duck and cover
They hide their heads and tails and four little feet
They duck and cover!
He hid beneath his little shell until the coast was clear

I head that if you twist a butter knife into a spiral and stick next to your toast it will make a toaster work faster and use less electricity.
You can buy them on eBay professionally twisted for like $10!

Go with Racing Beat springs and sway bars.
It'll cost you about $600 and only drop the car 1/2 an inch.
That will give you much better handling and allow you to stop worrying about your bodykit's ground clearance.
Another alternative is to go with Tein Basic coilovers for about $800 and set them to stock ride height (or maybe even higher) because they are height adjustable.
I'm not sure what will happen to the spring pre-load if you do that but you can call a Tein dealer and ask them for advice.
Good luck!
