lol.. shit !! ..if i could find it ....
i'm thinking a spring /shock combo or spring/sway bar combo ..

[KenC]

You're not going to find springs and shocks for $500... especially ones that would be on a dedicated track car.

I doubt that these will fulfill your track car needs but Vogtland Sprins w/ Koni's for about $550. I am planning on getting these over the summer.

take the 500.00 and replace all the worn out bushings, arms, bearings etc.

Damn, Koni SA shocks are over $700 alone! And if you are even considering tracking a car with lowering springs and stock shocks... :shock:

thats a great idea. certainly the most logical.

I saw some FK springs for sale over on e30tech for $80. I'm currently running these with bilsteins and like them alot. That might be a good, low budget start. For more info check my review of them.

For $500.00 you can do two driving schools... then you can decide what suspension you need...

[GaryE30]

You can always purchased somewhat used suspension parts. If you're budget is that tight.

The SA's are only 80 dollars... over his budget. I haven't checked prices since last year though.

If this is going to be a dedicated track rat Id get all the bushings, etc as mentioned above first before you even contemplate lowering the car.
