i have a lx vert......i am using eibach sportline springs...1.5inch all around but they really settle like 1.70 all around...its a nice even drop...as far as shocks and struts im running lakewood 70/30 up front and comp adjustables in the rear set at 50/50.....and weight transfer is great...my times havent suffered at all.....springs were about 150, rear shocks were 30 bucks a piece, and the struts if i can remember that far i ibelieve are no more then 90 a piece....so ur lookin at almost 500 for the suspension....i would use the other 500....towards a nice rear gear setup....hmmm 4.10's...oh and im still riding the ponys...they look great when the car is lowered...

other 500 has to go to tires, gotta get 2 MT DRs on 2 new ponies for track, then the rest of the 280 can go towards some **** ass street tires that I will be needing soon, plus I am getting another 300 buck paycheck tomorrow, so that'll help.

Are KYB shocks/struts worth anything?

Those seem to be more in my price range.
