I'm tired of springs/struts

I don't know what combo springs/struts to get. I've read, and read,and read, and searched, and searched and I've only become more confused. Pleaseeee help me . I want a nice drop (lower in the front than in the back or even all the way around) and a firmer ride than stock.

All my richest to the one that can help me .

My personal favorite:

KYB AGX Struts mated with progress springs. End of discussion.

How much you wanna spend? Get the JIC FLT-A2s that I have! Nothing else comes close.

1- I bought the JICs and everything else (except my wheels) off of Paul at www.avalonracing.net Give him a call and work something out, they list for $1800.

2- No, but you will have to use some wire to secure the ABS cable to the brackets that should have been designed differently.

3- 2000-2003 is the A33 chassis, so yes.

And I figure they are more durable then the shocks/springs because there isnt one shock that is designed for a drop more then 1.5 inches? Even KYB AGX.

Thanks guys.
I'm going to doing a little bit more research within the next week. I'm going to call up some friends and check out there combos and pick one.

Once again thanks for all your help.

Hey MaxRPM, is your car Canadian version?
I like how your highbeams are on. Looks kinda cool.

Nice car.

Yep! 'cause I am from Canada, Toronto.

I need to get the picture updated, notice all the body roll, that was taken pre JICs. Oh well I'll have to wait until spring.

Ditto. Although the creaking from the lack of coil isolators is driving me insane.
