    List of Suspension parts.. am i done?

    Hey guys/gals. I'm still pretty noob, but been piecing together a suspension setup for my car, i just want to do 1 day, full install, so i want to know if i am forgetting anything..

    here is what i have in shipping, or in my trunk:
    IE 22mm sway bar- rear
    IE Front Adjustable 22mm sway bar- front
    Front Camber Plates
    Sparco Front Strut Brace

    In my shopping car at IE (tell me if i should add, take out anything):
    Rear Shock Mounts (the billet alumn)
    Rear Bushing kit (needed for rear sway bar)-Urethane
    REar Sway Bar Mount-2 of those

    I need suggestions on the shock/strut and spring combo, decided against coilvers, because as well as they handle, they will cost more than i paid for my car, and I could use the money to help pass smog, and fix up the interior a bit.


    Well, anything else I may need? As i said, i just want to do a cheap setup that will be good for occasionaly SCCA auto-x, and i want to do it all at once.
    I am upgrading my brakes too, well going through IE with front cross drilled, rear OEM replacement, and the Mintex Red Box Pads all around.


    Thanks for any input!

        You will most probably be disappointed w/ HR springs, especially with everything else youre doing. Go with the IEstg3/koni combo, you wont be disappointed, it will be quite a bit more harsh than stock but worth it imo.

        I have no personal experience but it sounds like those billet aluminum rsm might add quite a bit of NVH, someone correct me if im wrong.

        As time went on, the factory developed the car each year, making it faster, more comfortable, and capable of handling at higher speeds.
        You don’t want this. You want the trickiest, most dangerous, oldest model you can find. Only then can you prove to the world that you’re a man.

          yea, i think i want the IEstg3's, but not sure about the shcok/strut.

          i used to have AGX's in my last car, loved them for their ability to change the dampening. so would want the same.

          How about the GC's? i had GC's in my last car, liked those too, anyone here have 'em and like 'em? or are they too overpriced

            I'm rollin with IE3 springs and bilstein sports lowers the car, nice firm ride, can get a lil bouncy on rough roads at times but thats the trade off for a tight suspension

              sweet.. that is the kind of stuff I want to hear, like how the suspension will be in my daily life.

              I used to have a modified Infintii G20, and the suspensions etup on that, was very similar.. tight ride, but bumpy at times. It was running KYB AGX's and GC coilover springs.

              I like the AGX's and the Koni Yellows, might opt for the Koni's for this car becuase of the dampening control, which I don't thinkt he Bilsteins offer.

                I haven't dealt with the billsteins but I've heard to run the IE springs properly you should have them revalved.
                I've got the IE 3 springs and Koni adjustables getting ready to install and I've heard nothing but good things.

                  While your at it I would buy all new bushings, preferrably the polyurethane ones, and do it all in a 1 time deal.
