Some of the most common are the Eibach prokit and the Espilers. You can typically get the Espilers over at s2ki.com for around $180. I know a few people with these and they perform very well.

appreciate it everyone ordered espilers on s2ki hopin there as good as everyone says still kinda regretting not goin with spoon but everyone rocemmend and loved em so im goin to try em and see also were lookin at 180 shipped to 400 plus shippin for the spoons. i will post some pics up here as soon as i get that and my spoon x brace spoon rear tie and spoon front strut and resoiver covers and the espilers springs. if everything goes as plan and i love them (espilers) as much as everyone else next is the js racing rear upper strut bar and some koni yellows to go with the springs. if i dont like them (espilers) which chances are everyone does(like them) so i wont but if i do i will sell them and get the spoons. so ill see how well i like em and ill post if i dont like them and someone can get first shot at them. thanks for all the help and goin on what yall say with this order normally honestly i buy spoon or mugen parts but i saw all the post on here and s2ki about how much everyone loved them so im goin with my fellow s2k drivers on this one. thanks

don't be disapointed when you first put them on.. it's takes a while for them to settle....so wait about a week before you judge them... but my buddy loves his...

my buddy has his espilers without konis for about 5 months and it's still fine...you'll only need konis if you want to fine tune it...but then again eventually your stock suspension will be dead so you'll have to get a new set.. which is when you should upgrade to konis..

and as for the cusco sway bars.. i've heard a couple of good things about it on s2ki... lots of people have been talking about them lately.... so go there and check it out..

thanks, ya im planning to go with a single exhaust by spugen, but im not sure if i want the oval or something esle. do any of you have sound clips besides the one on the spugen website? for the kgmm, the front is on the koni lower perch and the rear is on the top perch.



but the ride is great, the drop is perfect, its a finger gap all around. i dont rub, although i need to fix my camber.

heres what the koni's come with,

Define "best" JDMLUDE...or "guy that has started 400 threads in the S2k forum". How can we tell you what is "best" if we have no idea what you are looking for?

"best quality" = Eibach



Compare the warranties.

If it were me I would go with the Eibach. Drop is 1" coupled with the Koni, you have yourself a nice track setup. Good luck! As for the sways, I have the Cuzco front and rear, 3 pc under body brace, lower V brace and 5 point half cage with harness bar. Car is stiff as a rock and handles like a dream. Just rough on everyday driving though...
