Since your PM box is full

Personally I would go with a coilover system such as Tein Flex. Tein seems to have good customer support.
The spring rates are more aggressive so that may be a drawback for a street car. But you can always get different rates. I would save the stock set-up and put it on for the winter months (but that is just me).
What is the cost difference between the two options?

ok PM box clean.
Well the cost is like this
a spring/shock combo will run about 7-800
the tein flex is 1400
but a guy im talking to on an is board, is selling a used set w/only 5k on it “like new’” conditon for ~$900.

The lip looks good, but my bet is that you’d be more satisfied with the sway bars. :tup:

Yes, that was the same theory going around on that board as well.
