    i'd say get your mind off the kit. a dssr is very nice (i have one), but properly fitted linkage bushings go a LONG way on their own, and will cost a fraction of an AKG kit as you'll have to replace them anyway even with a dssr. maybe spend the money saved on solid fcabs and tie rods. there's nothing like a solid front suspension.

            I don't think anyone mentioned motor mounts. They are cheap and the 20 year old ones will shear off during aggressive driving, which turns your engine into a wreaking ball in the engine bay.

              Definatley not good but you still have tranny mounts keeping it from turning into a true wrecking ball. Unless if all 4 mounts sheared at once somehow, then the mounts themselves won't actually shear. They'll just slowly tear and wrip up, but you'll see the symptoms a mile away.

                If the engine mounts go they can cause the fan to cut the radiator hoses.
