Default ...YOU WILL BE GLAD YOU ASKED...

Yes, you will get many shock/coilover suggestions with this thread.

First, the basics.... Did you do the Energy suspention front sway bar end link replacement mod yet? Replace the whimpy factory end links with bushings that absorb shock. See this thread for a $20 mod that everyone agrees makes for a better ride. See the diferance? Stock is whimpy.

The rear of my box got the Monrow schock for the Echo to soften it up some.

But you want coil-over's so I will let others recommend.
