    I was wondering if they make springs that are stiffer than stock. I don't like how far down it sinks when i take off. I definitely don't want something lower cuz I drive 10+ miles a day on gravel. Any help would be appreciated. If there is something other than springs let me know cuz i don't really know

    blown out struts are more of a problem when it comes to body movement up and down.

    new springs and struts will get the car higher than it is now. over time the parts droop. so any new oem springs will lift it a bit for the time being atleast.

    Im finally getting around to replacing my shocks and struts and i have decided to go with a package deal that has the spring already mounted due to lack of tools and/or friends with tools. I was wondering if anyone has a brand preference? and prices? i want something fairly cheap and i know coil overs are expensive but if there is some cheaper ones that peform the same or better i may replace just my rear ones. Im also thinking about tower braces and preferences?
