it felt like no wheel drive

Post by bfamiluyi »

i'm working on my suspension for now i change both front strut about a year ago and i also change all 4 spring with a dropzone spring and the car is now sitting nice on the ground. i was just wondering if i need to change anything else because since i did all of the changes i have spend more money on tires, broke my drive side axle which lead to change my brake and my strut mount on my drive have a crack around it.

There are a couple coilovers, but they are not cheap ($800). They will not ruin your car, though. If you REALLY want coilovers, do a search. Unless you're autocrossing, you'd be happier with a good spring/ strut combo. There's ALOT of info on these here, too.

coilover springs from ground control cost $399. Custom spring rates for the same price. They match up nicely with escort zx2 s/r struts as long as you get the right spring rates (I got 300f and 200 R)
