So I am gonna do a suspension upgrade. All stock suspension wise, I was thinking the MM Starter kit which comes with


* H&R Race or Super Sport Springs
* MM Caster/Camber Plates (in Black or Chrome finish)
* MM Urethane Pinion Snubber
* Bilstein Struts and Shocks
* Front and Rear Urethane Spring Isolators


Then I was also going to get the MM XL SFC's.


Anything about this setup you would change?

Also, what tools should I have handy for the install? Any write ups on doing everything in the starter kit?

I basically have the same suspension and I love it. It gives a great ride as well. Any information you need for the install you should be able to get off of the MM website. The hardest part of the install will be the CC plates.

I'd throw in the extra 30$ and upgrade the swaybar bushings and steering rack bushings to polyurethane ones.

And I wouldn't install the urethane spring isolators, because they can raise the ride height up to 1/4".

Why's that? Because of the drilling?

This is the same exact set up that I'm ordering this weekend. I plan on running the Urithane isolators in the rear and stock in front.

if this is your daily driver you may want to reconsider the choice of springs


i have H&R Sports w/ Bilsteins and the ride is perfect. any stiffer (race or SS) and ride quality won't be the greatest.

Well I guess it depends on how much you can tolerate.
I have the Eibach Sportlines (630# in the front and 295# in the rear), and IMO the ride quality isn't that bad.
