Im looking to overhaul the suspension on my 97gtp. Im gonna go with kyb gr2 struts and eibach springs. i have GM performance sway bars. Also i wanted to get the zzp strut towers cars but what else should i do. i basically want to replace everything with either good stock parts or aftermarket fun stuff lol. What is everyones opinion about what i should get. What are some good gauges for like boost pressure, etc..
 


Get some new lower control arms, inner and outer tierods, wheel bearings, and strut mounts and that with the parts you listed will have your car at better than stock levels.
 
I have zzp stb, and like them alot. But if I did it over I would get them from westshorefabricators.com
 
Look into some trailing arms as well, I love my UMIs.

Also loose the GR2 struts, they're good for stock, go AGX with something with aggressive rate like Eibachs.
 
We used stock struts with the eibachs last time and they were okay. I don't want to get crazy with it, just stiffen it up a little.
 
I used the GR2's and if i could do it over, I would choose somthing softer (getting old). They are great riding and handling, but the bang from some road conditions has gotten irritating.
Also you will ant the "anti-pogo" washers also, along with camber bolts just in case. I reused my factory springs as they are in good shape.
 


Yup I've ordered the anti pogo washers. I have a early tiburon with the race coil overs so I don't mind stiff, just they don't move period lol
 
Well Eibachs drop is a lot more so the lower you go the rougher the ride is. Unless you went coilovers. So stick with ZZP
