Once again appreciate the inputs. Question: Where is the most affordable place to procure these springs and struts/shocks? Any special codes for further discounts?

Love my set-up...firm in the corners yet not brain rattling over the bumps. Think I got the Pro-kit from Summit and the Tokicos at either Tirerack or Summit. About a 1.25-1.5 inch drop all the way around.

Also, Eibach makes springs SPECIFICALLY for the vert!

TONS BETTER than stock....different car.

Can't say for headers, but watch out for the subframes bottoming out on speed bumps and so forth.
Even the stock ones will scrape every now and then.

I do scrape sometimes over big speed bumps...however, if I go slow I rarely hit the long tubes or x.

I got a set of Tokico shocks, struts and springs I'm looking to seel for $400 brand new. I ordered them and never put them on. I decided to go with a different suspension, so that's why I'm getting rid of them. Just at in my room since I bought them. Let me know if your interested. Part numbers are: HB3140

H&R FTW... Get some Sport or Race Springs.. the race springs will be prettttyyy stiff, so unless you wanna feel the road alot go with Sport Springs.
