This is great...but now i have to save more money i was planning on putting on GR2's within the next month. But if these are so much better than the gr2's like you guys are saying they are it'll be worth the wait. Although i was really hoping to have them on for auto-x'ing al summer.

BTW Everyone... www.shox.com is a great place to buy these when they become available. I had picked up the GR-2s that I bought(and never used) from them and they had a really competitive price AND shipping was only $10.00 for the set of 4.

Since there are so many people that are waiting on these is there any way that we could get KYB to let us do a group buy and get them cheaper???

Yep...well like I was telling Brandon, if you did:
-(4) KYB AGX Adjustable Struts -(4) Eibach or H&R Springs -Front and Rear Speedbuild Sway Bars (with poly bushings) -and a good set of tires like some Falken Azenis' ...the car would be an AMAZING handler..simple as that. You would be hard pressed to find a better handling daily driver with the fairly low amount of money put into it. Alot of people are spending more than that combined for just a set of nice coilovers.

No you should not start a new thread, you should search first.

AMAZINGLY...its $600. But a person could piece the set together for much cheaper. Anyway, doing things like the Front Poly-Endlinks is SUPER cheap..like $9.00 for each side and will help tighten things up...a little bit of work though.
If you want the how-to with some nice pics I can send it to ya. CHRIS

I DO have all of that... minus the AGX of course. Still haven't decided if I'm going to get them or go for the koni inserts. Let me tell ya' what though... the ride isn't that bad but over freeway joints on crappy MI roads it can be a bit jarring sometimes. I really don't recommend the complete poly bushings for a daily driver unless you like punishment and don't plan on selling the car later. The are NOT easy to install (getting the old bushings out is the hardest part) and the noise and impact harshness go way up with them. They definitely improve handling though. Rubered00, the benefit of poly bushings is less deflection of the suspension arms under load. The stock bushings are soft enough that under heavy loads the pivot points of the arms will move around, taking the arm out of it's intended arc of motion and changing your suspension geometry. Harder bushings lessen that effect so the pivot points stay where they're supposed to. Besides keeping the geometry correct, they also help transmit forces to the springs/shocks (same as chassis braces do) so that they can do their job instead of body flex and bushing deflection absorbing the bumps.
