Do you think going after market with the springs will improve the ride quality? Right now I think anything will be better than what I have now...............12 year old struts and control arms lol, I know my LCA bushing are shot so when I replace the struts I'm going to be changing the LCA's as well.
I'm starting to wonder if I should look into KYB's because all I want is comfort because this is going to be my daily driver. The cheapest I found the OEM's for is $160 each.

OEM is the way to go if you want pure comfort. Get the 97 rears as they are roughly $60/each and the fronts are roughly $120/each. Total with shipping and applicable taxes would probably make it a little over $400. Not sure how much KYB GR2 and Tokico HP go for nowadays, but see if you can justify the extra cost for the OEM set. Installation is also key so the shock is fully utilized and not riding on the rubber bushing, but thats another topic.

If you were local I would let you ride in my car to see how the ride quality is. Maybe a local CL member can do that for you.

I was thinking of going with the Eibach Pro Kit and KYB GR2's. Anyone have any experience with that setup. I want to lower a little without being to much of a problem with clearance. Also don't want to get beat to death.
