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!

yikes $200 for a custom alignment, that was expensive.... especially if you plan on trialing various setups.

Yeah, it was more than I had planned on but the shop that was going to do it had a broken alignment machine I needed it done that day. After I added the crash bolts the control arms needed a lot of adjustment to get everything lined up properly. Fortunately I knew exactly what I wanted ahead of time so I didn't need to try out various setups. |
