Default Is there a performance suspension that dosen't lower your car?

I have a 00 tib with a veilside body kit on her, I want to upgrade the suspension but everything I look at lowers the car at least .8". If I do that my body will be on the ground as it is only 1.5 - 2" away now. I want to go with coilovers and any info would help.

I suppose you could have coilovers set at standard height uzzled: Or an alternative would be just to change to some better struts like the kyb agx.

There are many places that can custom wind springs for you so they fit on the stock spring perch but are a custom spring rate to your choosing. I was toying with the idea of doing this...

The main purpose of coilovers is to lower your center of gravity and give you a tighter suspension. You can still acheive the tighter suspension. I"m not sure what parts are available for a Tib but look into struts, sway bars, shock tower braces, polyurethane bushings, control arms, etc.

Thanks for the info I has sway bars and shock tower bars, I was just hoping to get a more positive feeling suspension so I don't 'float' around all the turns.

You could always get revalves and some massive sways...

KYB AGX's are now available for your car. This will be equal to 03+ tib untrasport in feel with no lowering. Koni inserts are available too.

You will have to get custom springs I think. EIbach will make them too. I have no idea about price.
