ok my front shocks are blown. So how well would my car handle if I replaced my front shocks with gr-2s and then bought springs. would my handling be good?

uhh, i'd say not so well...you're better off getting 4 new shocks and keepign stock springs till you can afford the 4 springs

that and the AGX are better, if you want springs for performance and not looks, i'd spring for the AGX...(no pun intended) so you can get the most out of the springs (stiffer dampers)

you can do just the front shocks, but your tail is gonna be happy. I did the AGX up front deal for a week and coughed up the money for the rears because i wanted to be able to control my car easily while accelerating with the car turning
