You can also just get some KYBs. They're cheaper, and still have a lifetime warranty. Also, if your thinking about a coilover setup, under no circumstances should you buy a cheap set. You'll be very unhappy with the ride. I have heard good things about ground control, like CiviChriSiR2 recommended. If you don't need the adjustment, just get a good set of lowering springs (a set of springs will usually ride just a little better than coil over sleeves anyways). This way you'll have money left over for a camber kit if need be.

Hmmm. not sure about the AGXs, but the GR-2s definatly have a lifetime warranty. Actually, i was looking at the warranty on the box as i was writing that.
By the way, i have a set of 4 BRAND NEW never installed GR-2s for sale. I have AGXs on my CRX now, and i was going to swap them out. I decided againt it, so now i have them just sitting. I paid around $200 + shipping, so if someone wants to shoot me an offer, instant message me, or email me at RioNinja@hotmail.com

Spend an extra $200 and get a set of Koni adjustables with the adjustable perch, well worth every dollar. If Ferrari uses them they must be the ****, right?

definately get Koni adjustables- they are the best, and thats what i have so you have my word on that. ive also got the ground controls which seem to be a pretty good quality product... but if i were to go back do it again i would've saved a lil more and got the truechoice stage 3's. but your not gonna find a good setup for 600
