Well all my posting and talking to jdg and boosted on the autocross thread has me really going! My current set-up is as stands: 3 point front strut bar, 2 point rear strut bar. Front and rear Suspension techniques sway bars. Intrax lowering springs. JIC lower frame brace in the mail. and KYB GR-2's pending this question. I have a sport option GT. Should i replace the sealed struts with new ones (yes im willing to pay) or go source some other struts and install gr-2's? Also tires are being taking care of as well so thats no big thing. I need some more advice on what to do about the shocks though. Thanks!

i want to get some decent shocks in but koni's are kinda out of my price range. (broke ass college kid), so for now im lookin at blistiens possibly and i want really good tires. woud you suggest a "wider the tire the better" like a 225? or would a good grippinh 205 do the job on a 16' in.?
