Default need help with a what to get

Hey guys. My stock springs and shocks are starting to go and I need to replace them. However, I'm on a budget so I can only spend so much. I was wondering if it would be better to get skunk2 coilovers + kyb shock struts or get tenzo r coilvers + kyb shock struts? I'd appreciate some response. O yea, I want coilvers so I can raise and lower as I pleased because I like my car height at the moment and the stocks are cut so I don't know how much lower it is. I didn't want to get springs and have wheel gaps.

Did you say your stock springs are cut?

Get some eibach springs and gr-2 struts, probably one cheaper way to go. They're a lot of diff setups you can choose from.

seriosly if you go with the cheaper coilover route you will hinder you drivability just so you can be lower. IMO its not the right way to go about it. If you get the tien springs youll have it nice and lowered and youll get a much better ride. Also remember if you plan on using the coilover and lower it pretty low then you are gonna need to get a camber adjustment kit. More money to spend and still have a worse ride quality

Fake coilovers are garbage, waste of money, always have been always will be.
