So after a year of driving my car with broken ball joints, broken upper tables, rear lower bushing etc......i decided to go just change everything. I opted for bilstein sport shocks and eibach springs based on the advice of some of some members of club202. I have to say, it was a great decision. Car rides low, handles great and looks good. Heres some pics:

The cars riding on #4 pads which i think is low enough but although i could have gone lower its gonna be impossible to drive in the winter.

Unfortunately, one of my tires needs changing cause it was flat and became bald.

Im looking into changing the anti-roll bars and putting spacers but thats for next year.

Thanks for the advice i think i made a great choice.

well because there were so many repairs, the labour and the upper tables alone was 2600$ CAD. I got the struts and shocks for 1100 bucks tax in on sale which was a pretty good price. The ball joints and the rest of the stuff i had lying around . It was a lot of $$ but it was worth it. If your looking into suspension look into bilstein and eibach its a nice setup.

Damn you definitely need to improove your service timing including the tyres!!! Paint your trims black, nice setup you got there.

Congrats. Ya, spacers in the rear will bring the wheels out and fill the wheel well up nice. You spent a lot I know, but cost is not too bad for the two in the rear.

Looks good... money well spent.

I got the same setup. Labour for the springs and shocks cost me over $800.

Do you drive with those rims in the winter?
