popped a virgin cherry (6th gen coupe) this weekend
So I searched for months to find a completely virgin 96-00 Coupe, and finally found one. I paid $2300 for it, of an asking price of $2995. I figured I'd start off in the suspension department. I went with Skunk2 Upper control arms, and Skunk2 Camber kit in the rear, Tein Lowering springs, and TruHart sport shocks, Prothane Sway bar endlinks, Prothane Sway bar frame bushings, and Prothane Strut Mount bushings. While I was in there, I decided to go ahead and replace the 19yr old inner and outer tie rods and boots. Yeah I know, for all you brand snobs, why use TruHart, why use this/that etc.... Yes, TruHart is a lesser priced brand, however, if you actually talk to the reps, and look at the specs, they are basically rebranded Skunk2 shocks/struts. But anyway.. I also have to shoes for her as well... This could potentially be the start of a beautiful relationship.

If anything, TruHart (made in USA) is likely better than some Skunk2 items. They have the airbag shocks I'd like to match to AirLift's self leveling system.
Their upper Camber Arms for the EG are better than Skunk2 in my opinion and use HardRace bushings and ball joints.
I have not seen anything bad about TruHart to date, they appear to be a solid aftermarket parts producer.
