Suggetions on Springs and Struts

[Rex2342]

I'm tired of my car riding like crap. It's been like this for a while now but I've got some extra cash and want to fix it. I've got Ground controls and AGX's up front and heated stock springs and blown struts in back. Don't ask why it's like this it's a long story Anyway I don't get to the track much anymore and never autocross or anything so it's just for looks and ride quality with a little extra performance. I do drive my Talon daily so the ride quality right now is driving me crazy plus it handles like crap like this.

I'm thinking of going with H&R sport springs with either AGX's or GR2s. I'm not sure I need the AGX's though and the GR2s are a lot cheaper. I wanted to do the bushings too and if I get GR2s I could still get the bushings with a few bucks to spare. I also thought about a new set of Ground controls with AGX's but I think it'll be a waste and I'll probably just blow the struts out again from it being so low. What do you guys think would be the better setup for me?

AGXs and GR2s are not meant for lowered vehicles. They are meant for stock height vehicles. The only shocks I know that are meant for that are the Koni Yellows. If Bilstein was in the DSM game, there would be another option.

You put the Konis with the GC and youll have one mad handling DSM.

Thats true but I can't afford the Konis and the GC's. GR2's and AGX's won't even handles the 1.5" drop from the H&R springs?

IMO, AGXs and GR2s are pure crap. Many people have used them with worse handling characteristics than stock. Not only me but many people on the board. Mostly because they cant handle the shorter suspension travel.

I cant think of his screen name but there is a road racer on the board running H&R Springs with Konis. He seemed to enjoy those for a few seasons.

I cant see of going with anything but Konis for a lowered DSM.

The cheapest I can kind a set of Koni's and GC's for is like $1050 shipped. What about other options? Anybody have any experience with these? K-Sport Kontrol Pro coilovers 1G AWD : JNZ Tuning
