Default Coilovers

My shocks and struts are shot. I want to go the coilover route. My budget is around 800 dollars. What are yalls recommendations? Also is it suggested that I replace control arms, sway bars, etc?

Foil overs are pretty reasonable for the 3GS, you could get some GodSpeeds or whatever you want for your budget. You’ll want to get the ball joints and tie rods inspected and make sure nothing is worn out, any problems stand out once you lower it. Depending on where u set theride height and if you run aftermarket wheels and tires, you might need to get some adjustable upper control arms or something, just depends on how the alignment looks and what needs to be adjusted, but you shouldn’t need to start replacing anything just because your getting coil overs

Depends on how clapped out your car is. You should do an inspection of your full suspension/steering system before buying anything. IMO worn out or loose ball joints, control arm bushings, rear knuckle bushings, rack bushings, tie rods, or any worn physical connection is more important than worn out struts.
