what suspension parts

I recently put on bmr's 1" drop springs, because my stock springs were shot,but it seems like my car is dropped more than an inch, do you think maybe it could be the shocks are bad or something (my car has 119,000 miles).

Also how would I go about raising it up a little without changing the springs, some guy told me that adjustable LCA's in the rear would raise me slightly, but I'm not sure what I should do, cause I don't have much money to play with, and now my spohn adjustable TA has a gigantic flat spot from rubbing, and my brand new long tubes alredy have a few litle scrapes on them

so please give me some idea's on shocks and some suspension parts I can get for a good price

thanks

Re: what suspension parts

LCA's are not going to raise or lower anything.

Re: what suspension parts

I was thinking of getting some kyb agx adjustables, I can get them at aprett decent price, koni's and billisteins are too much money..do you think the kyb's are any good or will they just blow out or something, and do you think they will raise my car alittle, cause my car is definately dropped more than an inch

Re: what suspension parts

stiffer struts will put it at where the springs are supposed to drop too. at 119000 miles with stock struts that are surely blown any strut will be better. i personally have the eibach pro kit with bilsteen struts, it sits lower than what its supposed to but the ride is great and i just can't drive in certain areas.

Re: what suspension parts

You could slip a piece of heavy duty hose over the top and bottom coils of the springs, that would raise it just a bit.

Re: what suspension parts

well thats what I figured, since they are so old, but I just want to make sure that the kyb agx adjustable's are atleast a decent shock, maybe not the best but decent (and better than stock)
