Newbie here with a Suspension question

Hi all,

I'm new to the board here. I have a 95 LE V6 with 79,000 miles on it. I haven't seen this mentioned yet but I have noticed over time that my car sags on the drivers side. Mostly because of my fat ass driving everywhere. Anyway, would new shocks or springs solve this or is it something else? If I have to replace anything what would you recommend? Thanks for the help!

springs for sure. I would get new shocks at the same time.
you can get the stock v6 springs or go with eibach for about the same price (likely less) and go with tokicos.

Others will have recommendations based on the springs and shocks they have experience with..

Or, go with the coilovers that I have for sale. They will never sag, but the spring rate is 3 times higher than stock. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMESE%3AIT

I've been reading the Tokico's are pretty expensive. How about a KYB G2/Eibach combination?

I have new KYB GR-2's in the rear with stock springs and new fronts laying on the garage floor. I'm pretty happy with the firmness of these KYB's, notably firmer than when the car was new. Just remember all the misc. parts that I forgot to order, the fronts don't come with lower spring seats already installed on the strut like the rears do, its separate part numbers.
