Yeah Dewey likes things that are expensive, he just can't afford them himself Wink

I've been happy with the homemade stuff, the spohn LCARB, and will be getting the Spohn Torque arm someday.

OK, i will clearify. There is a reason i like parts from those two company's, Unbalanced makes some parts that no one else does. Like a de-coupled torque arm. PHB Relocation kit, etc. Global west makes LCA's that have a spherical bearing, and are non-adjustable, this makes them basicly bullet proof. Basicly any PHB will work, its pretty hard to screw one of them up. I would just warn you to stay aware from BMR, i have not heard good things about their parts.

I also suggest going with spohn or TDS. I am very satisfied with their products. Depending on what you get, you may find better prices, this is what I did:

Spohn: LCA, PH bar, upper strut mounts, Tq arm (when I get one)

TDS: sway bars (36/24), Wonderbar,

Summit: Poly bushings, Koni red struts/shocks and hothiss springs

ok what about bilstiens HD.. got someone who says they are pretty good for the money... anyone ever used them? also.. i believe im going with the eibach sportlines springs.. so i also want complatible with those also.. maybe i should just learn up on some suspension.. heh

KYB all the way. Seen em, used em, love em.

You can't beat a KYB for the money! Bilsteins are spendy too like the Konis.

$324 all the way around is spendy?? hmm i have kyb on my 3rd gen and it was seeming to be ok as i added more stuff i like how it handles better then my 4th gen was just checking though. thanks

If you can spend the money, get the bilsteins. Better dampers are always worth it.

If you can spend the money, get coil overs.

(If that isnt what bilsteins are to begin with)
