Just so you know, you will be sacrificing some comfort if you decide to go with an aftermarket suspension. If you don't plan on spending the money to get a really nice coilover, you may be better off trying to find a good shock/sleeve set up instead; it'll more than likely ride and handle better than a cheap coilover.

If you're looking for some entry level coilovers, perhaps JIC, Tien Basics, or Buddy Clubs would be a start. There are cheaper brands like Megan Racing, but it may ride stiffer than you want, even if they are 32-way adjustable.

Usually best bet for not sacrificing comfort would be to get a shock/spring combo. There are a lot of aftermarket springs for the 350, but in searching, I couldn't find a lot of options for shocks.

Looks like Tokico is one of the only companies I've seen that make shocks for the 350:

In choosing, you're also going to want to check the spring rates and match them with the shock.

If you look into the F-sport spring/shock, you'll get a small drop and still retain some comfort. It's all going to be based on how you want your car to ride/perform and if you're willing to give up any comfort for performance or looks.

Good luck.

Looking for insurance now actually. With my current speeding ticket (can't do traffic school)...

It's looking about $2500 a year

PS: 1 speeding ticket on my record bumped it up $900 a year!

I like how the car is coming out very unique. Carbon wrap on the interior looks nice.
