as usual for me it's taking forever to figure out where to start. anyway what i'm needing is maybe a push in the right direction on suspension stuff. i've read and researched it to death but opinions are always welcome.

as it stands now my car (2k EX) is bone stock. what i'm wanting is to enhance what i have. i don't wanna drop it in the weeds but i wanna get rid of some dead space. i don't want to diminish ride quality but i want to be able to attack the twisties with confidence (i don't plan to autox, at least not for now).

i was thinking eibach pro-kit with mached dampers, possible strut bar, and a rear sway bar. for wheels i'm looking at 15" ether konig heliums/greenlights or any other lightweight rims.

sound good? dumbest thing you've ever heard?

any suspension gurus out there that can help i'd appreciate it 8)

I like the tokico springs but I like my new progress springs better. The illumina adjustables are pretty kick ass though.

If you purchase the KYB AGX, better order some bump stops as the cheap bastards don't send them with the shocks... nor do they tell you length or durometer. Half of the instructions are for beating up the purchaser about not bottoming these shocks. Frankly, it put a bad taste in my mouth about KYB.
