camber plates, upper rear strut tops (might be optional), threaded spring collars, they recently switched to eibach springs, you can get custom rates, and the agx shocks, and the rear camber link. the camber pates and spring collars are similar to ground control but different, the camber plates are steel so they wont snap like gc/cusco they also have a lower profile upper bearing.



baldy: the agx's are about the cheapest shocks you can get for the fc, and they happen to be good too so its an easy choice

I know this post is for the FC, but I was just wondering what would be some good suggestions for shocks, springs, coilovers for the FD? To have the smoothest ride possible. With the driving conditions being mostly med/hard daily driven around some nice twisted curves of the country roads with the occasional trip to the strip.. and in what order should I buy each? thanks. again sorry if I messed up this post..

for $1000 wouldn't Tein be better than the K2rd?

or for less just buy ground controls or something, for like $300 and the kyb's for $355. and save $400??

Really? But.. what about all of the aftermarket suspension stuff? Would I be better off buying the complete R2 suspension from someone or buying brand new aftermarket suspension items?

I like the sound of the K2RD setup...I should save up for that instead of just getting the Eibach/KYB setup I was going to grab in a few weeks. We'll see, I guess.
