need opinions on YOUR aftermarket suspension

Ok so in a few weeks..im planning to purchase progress springs..kyb gr2s all around and probably a rsb. Anyone have any of this installed on their car and can give me an opinion as to how much handling improved and in what aspects? (cornering, high speed stability, steering response, etc) im really not concerned about it being harsh or anything. just wanna know what you guys think..thanks

Handling will improve greatly. Steering will be more responsive re: RSB. Car will look much better too.

You'll like it.

RSB makes very significant difference in handling.

how hard was it to install? i was gonna do it myself too and have one of my friends help me. Any trouble spots during install?

so rsb tightens up the rear...as far as cornering or steering response? or both i mean will it induce oversteer a little to counteract the stock understeer to maybe make the car feel almost neutral?

I mean i am not goign to lie...its not EASY... but if u take your time.. and use common sense... anything can be done..

will u get it done in teh same amount of time as me ... NO ... this is my 2nd attempt...

prob will take you around 4 hours.. maybe a little less maybe a little more...

just try it man cant hurt... if u think u can do it.... YOU CAN DO IT
