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 dunno, i guess im still kinda lost. There are just so damn many suspension combinations and setups that you can have that i just dont get which one is the RIGHT one. Between shocks, tire size/weight, rim size/weight, so and so forth is just gets depressing. For now, i dont think that koni are for me. They are hardcore performance and you pay for it. But tires, i am considering a 205 or 215 but i dont want anything thats too big and would be bulky but i want wide.
