Shock/spring ?

I am looking into getting a suspension upgrade once again (due to my last car getting totaled). I had coil-overs but never really adjusted them, and KYB's agx and once again never adjusted them,lol. I don't have much money but I am looking into H&R race springs and KYB GR-2 shocks, and later camber kit after camber sets in. I was just wondering if this will be a decent set-up , basically to get a more aggressive stance while avoiding the common bouncy/nail biteing effect of really cheap spring (arospeed) and shock combos.

ive got Sparco Springs and Tokico Blue shocks and i love them, they feel just like stock and lower my car perfectly at 1.5inches. although you cant get Sparco Springs, H&R sport springs can be compared. id also reccommend RSR down springs which ive heard great reviews on(which would be my next set of springs if i ever decided to get antoher set). If I were you id go wtih Tokico Blues instead of the KYB Gr-2's, since the Gr-2's are basically an OEM replacement.

i agree with the koni yellows... another good spring option would be eibach race springs... another item you can get from groundcontrol.

everyone who rides in the car always claims that they're sitting on the ground. LOL. But then again, that's probably why my exhaust piping and muffler is all jacked up. Too many obstacles on the road when your car is that low.

Alright thanks, so no to the gr-2? You don't think they will hold up with the H&R race springs?

well agx is great for the $ if you want to go low budget. If you really have the cash, i would get a full coilover setup. Possibly the Tein SS of flex if you can afford it. But if you want a decent setup the koni yellows and h&r springs are awesome.

well with the agx and h&r race springs and especially the koni yellows you might as well go buy the tein basics...
