    How to decide on a suspension setup with a new engine?

    Can you guys school me on some basics?

    I'm still trying to decide on what engine to put in my eta, but no matter which way I go, unless I put in the m20b25, I'm gonna be gaining some weight.

    So how do I decide what sort of suspension I want to run? I always thought the default was bilsteins and H&R's, but it seems to me that coilovers of some type are the best way to compensate for the gained weight up front.

    Also, what's the lowest street height/ground clearance you guys can achieve on a really stiff setup without effing stuff up on speed bumps and dips?

    And quick last question...shocks and springs come before new wheels, right?
