or save more for a few more month and go with shocks and sprins!

btw, if only springs, is H&Rs good, or really bad, I have seen some complains about H$R's lately!!

Default Save your money...

if you just do springs you're missing out on the handling improvement you'd get out of better shocks. Plus, you end up paying twice for install and alignment.

Wait and do both at the same time.

Default You'll be better off waiting and doing both at the same time.

And you'll save money in the longrun.

Default I think that many people here agree that the shocks are the "weak link"...

in the suspension.You could keep the oem springs & replace the shocks & get improved handling. But if you intend to replace the springs also why pay twice for installation? Wait until you have $$$ IMO.
