I own a 2008 2.7l v6 gt and bought it used. This car was a northern car so there is rust on the car and the suspension is shot. The way the car rides right now is bad, every little thing makes the whole car bounce. So I need help finding coil over, shocks or springs, just something to make the car a smoother ride and possibly make the car a little lower.

Better than OEM option is a set of KYB struts and Eibach lowering springs. Costs about $380 USD when they are on sale.

If you want a real upgrade look for coilovers such as Tein, Megan or BC racing. Remember than if you spend less than $800 on adjustable coilovers they're absolute trash.

+1 on the BCracing. We've only been using these on customer vehicles now. Rebuildable, and great ride out of the box. Love them on our tib

I heard that they aren’t the best ride, but the way it rides now is worse than you can describe. The suspension was shot because this car is from the northern US, so it hit multiple pot holes and a lot of other things that aren’t good for the car.
