i tihnk its time for a new suspension. my h&r cupkit has been on my car for a long time now and its also been through an accident. It seems that on the side of the impact the shocks sit about 1cm lower.
any suggestions on coilovers???which is the most afordable? i dont want to spend too much money at the moment. i can always go back to my stock suspension and just put some new springs on them which is a cheaper way to solve the problem???

FK will be the cheapest way to go..
Bilstein or KW will be around the same price...
i love my PSS9... :yourmyido
are you sure it sits higher? Make sure you park on a flat road with your parking brake down and see if its still off.. At first I thought one side of my car was lower as well but it was because the ground in my parking lot wasnt even. I thought it was pretty flat and it still fooled me

if you have any problems with the car suspension pick up points or unibody not being straight because of an accident, you are better off getting that fixed first before you go to coilovers. With CO's you are taking the handling to the next level, but if you have a cockeyed body to begin with you won't be doing yourself any favors and the CO's may magnify that problem, worse the handling will be off and cause erratic performance. you don't want to go off the road if you are pushing it...

if there is something wrong with the shocks maybe you can make warranty claim.
