I'm on the hunt for a good suspension. I wanted to know what you guys have and how do you like or rate your suspension in your car.
So far I'm looking at H&R Springs
and
AGX struts.
Anyone have any feed back on this combo?

Both are good brands. I say do it!

Good choice on springs, but for a 2G I'd recomend the Tokico Illumna (sp?) 5-way adjustable shocks. You should also get a stiffer rear antisway bar, that will make a huge difference. Strut bars always help too (front and rear).

i would agree with him too i guess, the agx's are pretty bouncy. it handled good, but very bouncy, if you have a lot of driving to do, and on bumpy roads it can get annoying. I've heard the illumina's were very good, just didn't have the coin to drop on them at the time.
I have AGX's and H&R's on my 1g. They are pretty damn stiff. I think they just offer the race kits for 1g's, so you might be able to get a little softer version for the 2g.

I have AGX's and Ground Control Coilovers for my GVR4, stiff and a little bouncy going over bumps on the highway.

Same setup that I had on my Talon (plus a rear antisway bar and a strut brace) and on the smooth roads it handled amazingly well, but come those bumps it got very uncomfortable and harsh.

Eibach Sportlines, Koni adjustables, shortened lower control arms in the rear, bigger sway bar in the rear, both strut bars from Bushnuts and poly bushings throughout the suspension. Handles real good and rides decent, although the setup is about 9 years old now except for the Eibachs. I've only set the Koni's to full stiff once and I was able to take a long sweeping freeway on ramp at 125mph. :-)

I have AGX's and H&R's on my 1G. Handling is great but the ride is just a few notches better than a wagon. For a daily driver I'd want to sacrifice a little of the handling for a better ride.
