This is what I'd like to get for my car....
Tein S. Tech's
KYB GR-2's
Are they good deals? The installation will cost me $200. Thanks in advance.

I have that setup right now. Good springs and KYB is a nice OEM+ replacement. You should just install yourself as its really not that hard and a How-To is made on the main page.

Thanks Ti. I'd do it myself if I had a garage

Why u need a garage, I did mine in my drive way with the $100 sears 151 tools set.
Save the $200 and buy some tools, and then do it in your drive way. **** I even have done a set in apartment building parking lot on my friends car.

ya very simple to do... the backs are a bit tricky.... i had to use an air gun that was the only piece of machinery i didnt have and i rented a spring compressor for cheap.... takes about a good two hours.

Bad news: unfortunately, I have to replace both front axles which will cost me $350

Good news: my shocks/springs are fine, I thought they should be replaced b/c my car rides pretty harsh over bumps.

I guess my plans for the suspension will have to wait a few more months, I'll keep you updated

Honestly, you could do the axles in the apartment parking lot as well. But, I digress. Get the suspension stuff anyway. While you are doing the axles, you can swap the springs and struts in no time and you will be very pleased with the result.
