The car is 300+ miles away so I'm limited on being able to measure at the moment. |

The more important question is... are you interested in adopting another son... with kind of high mileage?

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I’ll have him measure and we’ll make a choice. Long term he would also like aftermarket wheels. While researching those options i am reading that coilovers give him more choices. You can probably tell that I’m leaning towards the fun vs the practical. He’s only young once. |

You can find used like new stockers on here for cheap. CL too.
There's a HUGE difference between fun and ruining a cars performance with large ass heavy wheels. I can guarantee any wheel that would require coils for him are way too big for what he needs. 17x8 +35 MORE than enough width for a stock power car. |

You'll likely be disappointed with cheap coilovers in the long run too.
IMO get stock springs or RCE Yellow springs and some light wheels in either 17x7 or 17x8. I've got my stock springs, but I imagine shipping them to you would be more expensive than just buying local.

You should be able to find stock used parts (shock & Spring) for around $100 - $200. Just springs for probably less. Try the LA. FRS club on Facebook. Good way to find parts local
https://www.facebook.com/groups/591931194331561/ Case in point $50 for springe, boots and bump stops $50. https://www.facebook.com/groups/FRSB...88077254656825

Bag it. Done right, you can keep the handling, along with adjust ability. Bags aren't just for the stance crew.
