I just got a 2G '95 GS, and it is a lot of fun, but it needs some things done. The rear wheel bearings were bad (replaced this weekend, when I put my new 17' wheels and 215/50ZR17 tires on). Thr next biggest things is the front shocks. They are so blown it's not even funny. I was thinking about getting these: http://www.horsepowerfreaks.com/price/Mits...part/GR-2_Frontand also for the rear. Has anybody had an experience with these shocks? I am not looking to do any serious racing, and they seem like they would work well. Any suggestion and advice is welcome. And while I am at it, should I think about some different springs as well?

If those shocks are going to be ok, then what would any of you suggest for new springs? I race 1/8 scale nitro RC, and the suspesion setups must be some what similar in nature when it comes to certain aspects, such as the spring rate. Since I am looking at just "spirited" driving, to quote 3000gt, what would I be looking for in a spring rate? Too soft, too much bounce more for off road, too much tension and too little travel. I will assume that is more or less how it works on a full size car as well. Eibach is a name I know pretty well, as well Koni, and Tien.

QUOTE(EMC 3000gt @ Jun 16 2008, 07:07 AM) I actually can not stand the KYBs I personally think they are horrible for any sort of track use or spirited driving. Mushy gushy and not safe... may have been the car on the not safe part but I am unimpressed with the KYB AGX's as an upgraded strut. It is merely an OEM replacement at best. I can stand by them. I use the same set up to go down canyon roads.
