Default Coil Spring Boost

I got a 1998 S70 T-5 and the suspension is a bit mushy. I don't have the $ to go out and get some new Bilstein as the technian from the dealership suggested.

Can I use the Coil Spring Boost as a quick fix for the next 6-12 months? It's suppose raise the height about 1" and improve handling and only cost about $20 at Autozone.

What was the original height from the center of the wheel to the the bottom of the opening in the fender? Mine seems a bit low.

When I have the $ for the new suspension, approximately $500 is what I can afford, what do you suggest? Springs? Mounts? What type of struts and shocks?

Thanks a Bunch.

Have you priced shocks and struts? Becuase if you haven't I suggest you do.

IPD USA, EuroSportTuning, Shox.com, Viva Performance. Check them out for prices.

I have priced it, and don't have the money now, especially because my CE light just came on the other day. I'm looking at wastegate solenoid, O2 sensors or MAF. Not too good for a car I just purchased. I already had to spend $ on tires and brakes, something I anticipated. I really want to keep itand will try, by finding affordable parts and some sweat and blood.

What do you think about the boost?
