k now i'm lookin for an affordable suspension setup, i;ve been lookin at shock/strut/spring setups that are somewhat adjustable, i can't afford coilovers, i'm looking to drop the car about another inch from where its at with the stock 337 suspension, any suggestions? i've been looking through ecs and a few other sites, i just want it to be a bit lower and stiffer. thanks

BUT HOW MUCH DO THEY RUN? I'M LOOKING TO SPEND ABOUT 1500 ON SHOCKS/STRUTS/SPRINGS, F/R SWAY, F/R UPPER AND LOWER STRESS BARS, DROP END LINKS

Woah, easy there. Find some coilovers for around $1000, spend $350 on both sway bars, find the stress bars you want for $150 (or skip one of them). A new front sway bar should eliminate your need for new end links, right?

hmm i thought with an updated front sway you need the sway/drop end links because of the extra load on the sway/drop end links. wouldn't i be able to save a few hundred bucks by going with an shock/strut/spring kit over coilovers? thats why i was going to do that

Yeah, you'd save some money ($400 ish) but trust me, you'll just wish you had coilovers down the road. Don't settle so you can buy more at one time. I was under the impression that endlinks were only used so that the axels clear the sway bar when the car is lowered.

If I were you, with $1500, I'd buy a nice set of coilovers and a set of sway bars. That should keep you under your budget and your 337 will be a totally different car.
