but as of any thing i ask its gotta be freakin dumb.
i'm lookin at pretty much a new suspension before it all comes off on me while i am driving...and i am not joking about that.
it sags to the passenger rear, it bounces a few times before it levels out after a bump, it creaks from the passenger side (possible broken strut or strut mount), clunking from both lower control arms, and the rear sway bar...my "member" is thicker than it.
so, i did some research,
lower control arm bushings $50 for 2 polyurethane
sway bar $169
springs $178 (but lowering) Stock is $120 per spring.
Strut mounts $25 per side front. rears $??
Struts $120 front $70 rear
now my main concern is i bottom out on some stupid things as it is, i know replacing the struts would help that but getting lowering springs at the same time, would that put me back where i am at or will it still be better than it was?
and as for pricing, good prices? or you got a better deal? if so link me please

I would suggest the KONI's....but I had an incident with mine that left me stranded for a few hours. I'd say go with the KYB's.....sorry Surra.

theyre just the fronts and they are for electronic suspension which i dont have. and mixing and matching i am not so sure about

NOPI doesn't have the front Tokico's. I know because I know the guy that bought the last set. Note if you get the KONI's and are converting the electronic adjust on the SE, you need to convert to the GL/GXE style suspension mounts and hardware in the fronts.

ooooooooook i am getting GR2's when i get the cash because there seems the be alot of work going from a electronic suspension SE to a regular suspension GXE (like mine, no ELECTRIC here just bolts and junk)
i am gonna have to get mounts too..
i did have another question, at lowering 1.5" is there any rubbing?
i dont think it'll be a problem because the cars already pretty low to the ground with the blown struts and sagging springs, if any thing it'll probally lift my car

ok nother question about the springs, after you install them with gr2's do you get that funky ricer wobble when you hit even the slightest bump?
I did with the KONI's and ST's. Not so much with KYB's and ST's unless it was a really bad road. With 35 series tires though, bad road made the rid particularly harsh. With 50/55 series tires, not so much.
