Default Need Advice.......

I have some 17's to go on my ERST. It has standard shox n springs so just puttin them on will look shit and no doubt rub.

I need some advice on how I can stiffen the suspension up without spending a shed load on a sus setup.

Can I just get lowering springs for now, or anyone recommend a good shock/spring setup for a reasonable price.

Adam.

Buy some poly bushes and there you go, instant stiffening. But you still need some decent shocks and srpings.

springs for now would be ok, but bouncy, but its cheaper to buy a package deal, shocks and springs. i only paid 200 for my spax when Halfords had a deal on.

Yea, think I will go for that option. Don't really wanna pay silly money, and dont want adjustables just to stiffen the suspension up and only wanna lower it 30 odd mm so it looks good.
