gen2 suspension problems.

I have 17" by 7.5 tires on my car now. The problem is that the cars suspension bounces like crap and makes noises(creeks) over bumps. Is there a coilover kit I can use, I want something adjustable. and stiff as hell.(R34) kit coming soon. Also I hope I can lower it as well.

There is no coil-over kit for the gen2.

You can buy KYB struts and Intrax Lowering Springs. The setup is fairly stiff.

You are incorrect.
You can get D2 Adjustable coilover suspension for the Gen2.

Bounce is rebound on shocks not up to par. Not springs.
Check pricing as it may affect your decision.
Good hunting.
