Arrow camber kit, coilovers, struts, springs??

hey im lookin for a complete setup for lowering my car. Im specifically lookin for a good brand such as dropzone where the coilover springs and struts all come together. I bought one of those crappy ebay coilover kits and its going to make my ride too bumpy. let me know if you have anything, or even if you can point me in the right direction...

well im not even sure the price ranges out there. all ive heard is that dropzone is about 500 bucks for the whole set of struts, springs, and coilovers. and 500 bucks is a bit much i think
im lookin to spend 300 max... around there

$300 for a complete coilover set? theyre an easy $800 +. those ebay coils u got may b for a heavier car like a teg , lude. if ur puttin those on the del slow, that cars is much lighter. try a softer spring rating, for a del slow or prolly even a crx. i have stock shox on the teg. 9 yrs old shox w/ pos coilover set, and my ride is superb !!! ive used kyb gr2 shox w/ cheap coils and they were a nice ride. i'd stay away from ingalls camberkits. the rubber bushing wear out, make ur front squeek, and ive had the actual metal break throwing my alignment sideways. ive never tried the skunk2 kits, but those would b my next resort. good luck breath....- josh

when i got them on ebay it said they were for a del Sol so why would they be for a heavier car? should i just put them on and see how it rides?

I know someone who got similar ones... but i was also thinkin that i could put them on and only lower it a half inch or so. then it wouldnt need new anything really.

my front right strut was put on by the previous owner and it sits way higher then the rest. all i really want to do is make it all even. so that would do the trick.

yea ive never done it b4 so this would be my first. i was thinkin about just gettin out there and start takin things off. but you're making it seem like its a lot harder then that... either that or i have someone that'll do all 4 for 100 bucks.
