Default new suspension setup

ok i got a 1998 accord 4cyl 4dr lx.

I am looking to replace the shocks and springs. Car is in NJ so it can't be lower too much, cause of the winter, pot holes etc. I am thinking of thise setup:

Shocks: KYB GR-2
Springs: Vogtland Lowering springs with 1.6 front 1.4 in the rear
Strut Bars: Generic front and rear strut bars for less chasis twist on corners.


Here are the ebay auctions I plan to purchase this from:

Please post any comments or suggestions.

-Thanks

KYB GR2 shocks are OEM replacement shocks, they are **** for lowering. I wouldent trust those springs as far as I can throw them.

My advise, save your money and dont cheap out on suspension. Get some decent shocks (kyb AGX, Koni, bilstien, tokiko etc). and get some QUALITY springs, from a brand that someone stateside has heard of before.
