KYB GR2 non-adjustable struts and progressive springs cut to drop the car about 2". Nice ride, but I wish it was lower.

If he wants it to handle well and have an adjustable ride height, tell him to get a set of coilovers and Koni or KYB adjustable struts. Im sure he wont be dissapointed.

If he just wants it LOW, tell him to get an airbag setup.

I had H&Rs and Koni. It was a pretty good setup for city driving, trouble free too.

Rear beam, also includes 82k struts and SE springs.

I'm looking at Maxspeed/AGX soon.

Suspension

Intrax/stock shocks with 115,000 miles on them

It corners well but the ride can be bouncy as a mother since the shocks are blown. Waiting to get a set of KYB AGX and maybe some different springs. Contemplating coilovers, but I was sidetracked (broke) when I sprung for the supercharger kit a while back.

KYB AGX's on stock springs
FSTB
Eurothane(sp?) front sway bar bushings
ADDCO RSB
17 X 8 wheels wrapped with Z rated rubber

Handling is awsome, no body roll and a nice smooth quiet ride.

If you can deal with the wheel gap, this is a great combo.

Th biggest diff between Tokicos and AGXs is that the AGXs are adjustable...

...oh, and the Tokicos suck in general, way too soft for lowering springs.

Intrax and Tokico. Got about 8,500 miles on them and they're fine so far. Struts don't seem too soft. Nice stance.
