My Ride: A Car
I am looking to get JUST shocks and struts. No coilovers. I dont want the hassle of needing to fine tune it etc. Shocks/struts do not lower the car more right? It's only springs. I want something adjustable, something that wont break the bank. Konis???

I bought bilstein sport shocks/struts off a member here and so far so good, the ride is very nice. I have them paired with H&R sport springs by the way. Koni yellows are also nice from what I have read.
