I need a complete suspension overhaul on my eg hatch. My eg is dropped on cut springs and dropzone struts. I let my boy talk me into cutting the springs. Stupid! Yes I know. Well needless to say. My struts r blown. My car has serous body roll. And I get a slight vibration in the front with the tires balanced. I just want to redo the entire suspension with a nice drop. Doesn't have to be slammed to the ground but enough so u can tell is lover than stock. I have Gsr blades and I wanna put 195 50 15 tires on them. Please help me find out what I need to rebuild my suspension and increase the handling. I want more performance than looks but I defiantly want something that looks nice. Lmk CTV!

1- ONLY IN THIS CASE, expensive = BEST = Skunk2 one piece coilovers.
2- Still expensive but no that much = Not the BEST but good = Ground Control coilovers with AGX adjustable shocks.
3- Cheap = Obviously not the best but not too poor like cutting the stock springs = eGay coilovers and any good aftermarket shocks like KYB, AGX etc.
Monroe shocks are a BIG NO NO!
Apply it!

Should I do new front control arms or bushings. The suspension on there now has about 250-275k on it. I know I'm gonna need more things. I just don't know too much about suspensions and all the parts. Anything else I should buy? Tie rods? Anything?

IN FRONT:
Left and right cheap tie rods. Lower left and right cheap bolt joints.
And the famous 120 each side upper bolt joints. You will need left and right which is a total of 240.
But because they are so expensive you could better buy the Skunk2 camber kit which cost the same amount and it comes with replaceable bolt joints plus it is camber adjustable ;)...
If you also want to replace all the bushings look for the Energy Suspension kit which I think it cost around 150 dollars on eGay and replace them.
--------------------------------------------------
IN REAR:
Skunk2 LCA and ASR rear sway bar with ASR subframe brace.
And if you have negative camber you could buy the Skunk2 rear camber kit or fix it with the washers trick.
And that's all my suspension knowledge in two posts. LOL!
Apply it!

def go with skunk 2 struts and springs. I think I paid like 400 two and a half years ago for the pro series, all the way around. Blox rear LCA's, and rear disc conv. with GSR spindles. do all bushings, tie rods, ball joints, get that shit aligned, and you will be GOODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDd!!
