Ok. I searched and didn't find what I was looking for, just people selling them.

Anyways, I want to do my suspension upgrades in 2-3 weeks and I was thinking about getting Tien S-Techs, KYB GR-2's and S/T Stabilizer Bars.

Is this a good setup??? It's just a DD that I want slightly lower to make it look better/handle mountain roads better. I slide it around sometimes, but just for ****s and giggles and in the rain. It body rolls like a MOFO right now with the stock set up and I hate it. Not to mention it's dangerous and already scared me a few times getting out of shape from it.

Are GR-2's going to be good enough or do I have to shell out the extra $$ for the AGX's??

How about the S-Techs?? They are supposed to lower 1.5" in front and 1.2" in back. Is this true or BS?? and, do they increase the spring rate?? I'd like slightly stiffer springs. I have a $600 budget MAX for parts. Together the above mentioned S-Techs, GR-2's and S/T bars total ~ $500 shipped.

S-techs = just for looks imo. GR-2's blow out pretty quickly as well. I'd recommend trying to find something like AGX's or if you're lucky find some used Koni's. I'll actually be selling my Koni's soon enough as soon as my coilovers get to my door.

I had that setup on my vert and loved it.

Unless you're doing anything hardcore, it's a great budget setup.

So are you guys using GR-2's or AGX's?? I'm sorta confused.

And I'm getting the sway bars from a local shop called Tenn. Speed Sport. They sell them for the same price I find them on e-bay for.

if you just daily drive your car, the gr-2s will be fine. my friend has had that setup for about 2 yrs now.

i personally have the kyb agx and the stechs and they are decent for daily driver + ocassional canyons. but as soon as i get enough funds, i will be getting coilovers.
