I have H&R Sport (a little soft, but oh well) and Tokico HP (blue) shocks and struts. I chose Tokico because it was all i could afford at the time. Now i have some extra cash. so...

Is it worth it to switch to Bilsteins? Day and nite noticeable difference than the tokicos? and if you suggest I switch, which model of Bilstein should i go for?

I would say yes, but your UPR upper may cause bind once you install the MM lower and the PHB.

If I were you, I'd swap the factory UCA back in when you install the above.

My advice to you would be to take all those "future mod goals" out of your signature. You're going to be VERY dissapointed when very soon down the road you see them not happening.

I've done that before, trust me dont talk about future mods. LOL get them, install them, THEN add them to your sig

I know exactly what you mean. A lot of times, at the beginning of the school quarter I swear up and down that i will get all A's, but end up with C's at the end of the year. LOL.

And i don't have the UPR UCA, only the lower. Just waiting for some free time and some buddies to help me install the MM stuff. san~man, do you have Enter Sandman by Metallica? lol

Haha my bad. Reading is fundamental. Even mods make mistakes
