I was impressed with that setup, I want something like what you had on the laser.
Well it was fairly simple.

KYB GR-2s Front and Back
B+G Springs Front and Back

Mine was FWD as well so a camber kit was not needed and the drop was about 1.75". In my opinion the car had the perfect 'rake' effect with this setup and it helped out with traction ALOT since the ass end didn't dip down so much under boost. The nose stayed as glued to the ground as it could (still spun like a mofo though).

I can't remember how much the shocks were but the springs were 200 bucks even shipped. I cannot remember where I got them from though.

I've got agx's all around and sprint lowering springs and its a pretty decent ride, id recomend them to other people, but how low you want to go has a big affect on the ride none the less. camber kit is a must!

Not for 1G FWD, I had a 3" drop and my alignment was all within spec, I had the Firestone Lifetime plan and would visit their twice a year.

AWDs tend to need the camber adjustment kit but like I said above my FWD didn't need to be adjusted at all being lowered 2".

I've got my shocks adjusted pretty smooth so that's probably why.

You must mean "soft", that would not have fixed my problem. My spring rates were way too high, on the softest setting on my AGX's the ride became very bouncy. I bought my GroundControls 3rd-hand so who knows if they were the standard 1G spring-rates or if the original buyer opted for much stiffer springs. I was going to order softer springs, but then I decided to part out my car and get out of the DSM game :)
