Less than 5k and cut springs but it is clean? I'm sure the San Antonio guys have plenty of stock suspension parts. On a related note, if you can't jack up the car how do you plan on changing out the suspension?

Hey guys im John, Just picked up a super clean 2005 rx8 from Dallas. I got it for less than 5k. It had few issues I have fixed most of them but the most annoying thing of all is some stupid *** kid cut the springs off to lower the car. Does any one know where I can pick up some either very cheap coil overs, they can be used I don't care for now, or stock shocks/springs for the front and back the car is about a inch off the grown I can even get the damn oil changed cause they cant jack it up or get it over the pit. I am gone till the 17th but would like to get the car raised up when I get back. I haven't been here in san Antonio very long I live out west near dominion thanks for any help you guys can offer in advnce
Welcome and....Post pics of you car!

I didn't read the whole post so you want you car like king ranch edition just couse it's low and you can even change the oil? You just need some ramps from auto zone (50$) instead you paid a least 200 to replace the suspension which you will make you car look worse.. Just my 02 cents

John, what do you want out the car....do you have any plans to mod or would you like to keep it stock...ish?
that should kind of drive your direction and you are certainly in the right place for support (San antonio)

I had to put a muffler on it cause the dumb kid that had it took the exhaust off all it was was the cat no muffler no mid pipe
