My .02. If you plan on road racing or auto-x then do some research on spring and coilovers. Check out the spring rates for the spring. 200-300 lb/in is not all that harsh of a ride for the street. But if you want to auto-x and road race consider spring rates of 500-800 lb/in. For shocks/dampers make sure you get some the will go nicely with the application. I'll just say the KYB AGX aren't supposed to be used for rides lower than 1.3" Konis are probably your best bet.

 

i get koni's and h&r sport springs put on sat. i'll let you know how it rides....should be smooth.

 

damn, i thought i would get more help than this. but thanks =]

 

I have a 90 Si and i have H&R springs with tokico struts. The setup dropped the car supposedly 1.5" but it seems more like 2". I got the springs and struts for 500$ and found a local shop to install the suspension for 150$. So total was 650$ and it handles really good, but rides really firm too. So I say go with H&R springs and some good struts and save some money as opposed to coilovers. Just my .02. And I didn't need a camber kit, I got my car aligned and the car goes perfectly straight and haven't noticed any unusual tire wear in over 10,000 miles.
