#11673, "getting new shiite, good choices??"




          

I decided it was time to spoil my car, so the ugly high waters are comin off and she's gettin some lo lo's emoji. Skunk2 Coil Overs, KYB GR-2's for struts, and soem reccommended ebay front and rear upper strut bars. Also thinking about throwin my interior back together while i am in the mood. We'll see how i feel though emoji.

I have that setup and it is stiff. Probably not ideal to use cheap GR2 shocks with skunk2's 500 ft-lb spring rates, but it is tolerable. The ride is harsh but performance is pretty good what I would say.
