I need some advice on suspension for my '06 xA.

There is tons to chose from, but most of it seems like overkill for a daily that will probably never even see a track. Tein is my numero uno choice for a full kit, including springs, shocks, coilovers, but is this even necessary?

Ideas? Suggestions? Thanx all!

Tien stech. Throw them on the stock struts. Good handling, lowering, and good ride.

could get a full Tokico Allumina setup from ebay like 200 bucks for shocks/spings and it's the 5way shocks and like 1 or 2" drop on the springs.

I've noticed that xA's have A LOT of wheel gap, so unless you can get some serious drop with springs I'd definitely say go with coilovers.

As far as recommendations I really couldn't tell you what to get because I don't know what manufacturers make them for your car and I'm too lazy to look right now.

mishy, let me refer to your first post EVER here on VAdriven, you mentioned that you wanted to get into drifting. is that still true? if yes, then go with the suspension that work best for that! you need to decide now, do you want to use your car for a) daily driving, b) drifting, or c) both?
