Suspension-springs?

[unreal808]

Its time for some suspension work, I need to replace my struts and springs up front and the shocks and springs in the back. I was thinking about the KYB GR2 front and rear. But I can’t decide on springs, I like the Eibach Sportline Lowering springs and the Pro springs. What would you get?

in my honest opinion, gr2's with the prokits would work, but any lower spring I would just opt for a better strut. gr2's are basically OEM replacement. try to get some agx, or koni yellows. sportline springs are a good look and ride pretty nicely. For a more aggressive look, you can go for the sportline springs..they are lower, but ride stiffer.

after riding around in my car for a while, struts/shocks will have the most affect on your car, and it's handling. have fun getting the lower bolts out on the rear shocks..

lol..I will just break out the torch right a way.

I’m not looking for an OPUS domination setup, just a little tighter than what I have now. You know with over 200 thousand miles on the springs a new stock OEM set up would be better than what I have now.

Well, I haven't ridden in a car with GR2's but Justin just got some AGX's and you can get loose REALLY easily in them. I'd definitely recommend those.

For a daily-driver setup that you want to keep comfortable the GR2's (10% stiffer than OEM) with Pro-Kit springs will be a nice setup. I'd stay away from the Sportline springs if I were you, they are mainly designed for looks unlike the Pro-Kit springs which are designed for handling and ride quality. AGX shocks are nice, but might be overkill based on what you're looking for; the price different could go towards something more benefitial to you. You should also look into a Suspension Techniques rear anti-sway bar, I got mine brand new for $145 and it made a bigger difference in handling than my AGX/Groundcontrol setup did while barely effecting ride quality. Top it all of with a front upper strut-bar...these do help the FWD cars.

I had the sportlines but it looked like shit, so I upgraded to the pro kits. Much better in looks and feel, not harsh on the street at all. If you want the stock look, go for the sportlines. If you want to look good, go pro.

I do have one, I agree with you.

I was working on a price, The KYB GR-2 strut and shocks along with replacing new bellows and strut /shock mounts F&R comes to like $460.00. The cheapest I could find eibach Pro-springs is $199.00 so after $659.00 I will be sitting good.

Remember when you drove my Blue FWD Laser at KK? I had just put in BG springs 1.7" drop and GR2s all the way around. It looked great and was not a harsh ride at all. A perfect combination for a car that is driven quite a bit.

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

For $659 I would just save up a little more and get a nice coilover setup. You are almost there.
