Pick a car that you like. There is nothing is cheap about lowriding. Find a nice clean car to start with and that will save alot of headaches.

It has a 4 link suspension. The Hydros are your choice. All companies use basically the same stuff. Just depends what brand u want to sport.

Reinforce the frame or you will regret it later. Based on my exprrience Black magic has great customer service. Cool cars is good too. Prices will vary depending on sales. When you order just tell them u gave a coupon. Lol. 2 pumps and six batts will get you 3 wheel and a small hop.
