Energy Suspension Master kit...
Replaces ALL (well just about) your bushings in the susp... it's a MAJOR p.i.t.a. to do.... but it's well worth it....

I have stock ex susp. with 172+k miles on it and people regularly ask me what kind of suspension I have when they're in the car...

I've had a car with eibach prokit springs/kyb struts ST front and rear sway bars ...

The car with the susp. handled better but for a stock suspension this thing handles rediculous...

As far as the pro-kit and kyb's and sways in my old car...

I LOVE pro-kit springs... and they're probobly the ONLY springs I'd get short of a nasty set of coilovers... I've never been in a car with GC's so I don't know what they're like but I don't know that I'd take the risk of not liking them after having love the pro-kits soo much... Only complaint would be that the pro-kits do NOT lower your car enough to be asthetically pleasing... In the case of my old car it left it higher (1-2"s) in the front than the rear (it was the same way stock) which always bothered me...

The KYB's lasted over 100k miles with NO problems whatsoever.. NEVER blew a single on and I BEAT THE HELL out of that car... I mean to a degree I can't even fathom anymore... and I still beat the life out of my cars... I've heard LOTS of people say they blow and that they've blown them... but I can only speak for what I've experienced... and mine took a beating and kept on going for a LONG time.

The Suspension Techniques Sway bars ruled... my last car came stock with NO sway bars... front or rear... I put them on both at the same time... and it removed just about every last drop of body roll I had left in the car... it was VERY impressive... they were realatively light too... but nice and thick...
