junkyard suspension?
I recently picked up 3 KYB AGX shocks/struts, and 4 Sprint springs from a local junkyard for a really good price. I was planning on waiting to save up for some Eibach's and Ilummina's since I want to get started in autoX soon, but I just couldn't pass up the deal. I was wondering what I should do with them though. So far I've come up with the following options.....
-sell the set seperatly on eBay and use the money for new shocks and struts
-put the fronts on to check the condition of them and then decide whether or not to buy a fourth (driver side rear) shock
-sell the springs and get some Eibach's
-ride around w/ everything I have but w/ the stock shock and a sprint spring on the driver side rear, until i can get the fourth shock
-ride around w/ just the fronts in until i get the fourth shock and then drop the back
and my neighbors own an auto care shop so alignments aren't going to be expensive for me.

sprints are too stiff and too low to be effective for autocross, IMO. When you lower the car that much you create bad control arm angles and bump steer. Plus you'll be bouncing around and will lose traction.
Hold off for the Eibachs for performance driving. Sprint springs are just for looks.
