I ran KYB GR2s and Sportlines on Daisy back in the day. A bit low for my taste, but I got used to it. Drove her all the way to Kansas City and back - through a blizzard - like that.

If I were to do it all over again, I'd go with the GR2s and Pro Kits. Less drop, decent improvement in handling for a mostly street-driven car, very wallet friendly.

My ideal budget setup would be a set of Bilstein inserts, stuffed into some freshly repainted Tokicos or whatever strut body I could find on the cheap to accept them. And I'd do some more research into the springs.

My IDEAL ideal setup would be to contact John Vanlandingham up in Washington to see about a set of his Sooper Bitchin' Suspenders, which would likely outperform 100% of the shiny shit being sold on the to0ner market.
