That link you posted is just an empty shopping cart!

I have the HR super sports, and love them. I still have stock shocks on now, but I have some Tokicos in the basement waiting to be put on.

Also, with that budget, I would consider doing the Bullitt suspension package, you can pick one up at the dealership for $440 or so. Includes a 1" drop, Tokico shocks/struts, and front/rear sways. Great bang for the buck

From what i've heard the KYB's are not much better than the OEM setup. If that's actually true, i'm not sure how well they would hold up in the long run with stiffer springs that have a big drop.

^ agreed. for $500 theres no way you can do full suspension paying $250 for install, unless you get your suspension for free
