psh... what's ride quality?

 

[rynoman03]

I lowered on KYB GR2's and Springtech's and I think it rides better than my stock worn out springs and struts.

Nope still riding good! :th_thumbsup-wink: It's been a week so far. I dunno why everyone knocks the GR2's.

 

[blueguy]

Because IMO stock > GR2's in plenty of ways. The most important being a ride quality.

Get GXP's

i hear they're cheaper than buying bilsteins out right.

 

[Sandman]

GXPs are Bilsteins

 

[matt5112]

yes, but apparently they're cheaper through gmpartsdirect than through the normal places you can get bilsteins.

 

[Bio248]

id love to post that, but all of those drop rates are wrong.

 

[Sandman]

Yea those are the advertised drops, may as well change them to the real world drop.

I got the DPT Motorsports springs off ebay and kyb agx's with pogo elims and my car rides great now I just need to get the motor and trans spacer things so it doesn't vibrate when I accelerate.

Also where can I get these little fin things?

 

[Poil336]

roof rails are rare, they only came on 40ths, special editions, and daytonas i think. check the for sale sections, they go for like $200-$250

 

[biggt]

what will be lower and straigh.
B&G and AGX?
or
Eibach and AGX?.

I got some 17'' rims with 235/55/17

 

[Odi]

b&g's by a tiny bit.

 

[biggt]

but witch one is better quality?

 

[Odi]

springs should both last and agx are good enough. u could drop $$$$$ on bilsteins but for what? u can dial in agx pretty nicely to make the car feel comfortable. from what i heard 1st gen eibachs had ass sag. i dont think i heard anyone complain about b&g's nor newer eibachs. i know RoC has b&g's.
