apparently i have a busted sring in the driver side front. and dad is looking into new struts and springs. these are his requirements:

-wants stock height
-no lowering


any help?

i'm probably going to go with kyb gr-2 struts or koni sport strut
im not sure about springs, cause all ive found are H&Rs, and they lower the car. which dad does not want to do. i'll bottom-out getting into the driveway also. :(

thanks

Just tell him its cheaper to buy the lowering springs and struts then stock SVT parts. when he sees it in dollars hes more likely to let you get the lowering springs.
 
little bit less than a inch actually. you'll never notice the difference,plus,the stockers are only bound to break again. its very very common:shrug:
