Well for the past 3 years i've been driving on EXTREMELY bad suspension components.



IE: If i take a corner to fast the rear end bounces like a basketball/// If i brake to hard the front end dips so much the rear looses traction and wants to swing around////when i'm driving in a strait line and hit a bump in the road, i might as well own two lanes while driving cause i will end up in the other lane, it's just a horribly uncontrolable suspension system.. what do you guys think about this kit from Rx-7.com



it's the tokico kit for the street includes 4 struts and 4 springs, as well as all hardware/misc stuff i need



price? 573.00..... it's the cheapest 'kit' i've found. please if you guys know anywhere i can find a cheaper 'kit' inform me. thanks alot.. in case you want to check it out here's the link :::

thanks again. Markus

It's not a kit, but you can get the KYB AGX struts from k2rd.com for pretty cheap ($410) and a set of Eibach springs for $250 most places. It'd be an extra $100, but you'd have adjustable struts.

Also, for the exact stuff previously mentioned, if you get the struts from Nopi and the springs from Corksport, the cost is $537.

Is the "cheapest" set what you are looking for? Is your budget that tight? I'd suggest looking at replacing your bushings as well as the shock/spring combo. Bushings by themselves don't cost much. You'll just have to install them yourself if you want to save a lot of money. They are worth it. Even if you get shocks/springs your car will still have a lot of jiggle to it because of the worn out rubber bushings. Get rid of the rear-steer bushings as well and the car will feel a lot more predictable around fast turns.
