    7g: Shock/struts and springs or Budget coil overs?

    Well i am going to do some suspension work on my galant in the near future. I have done plenty of suspensions on the various cars i have owned over the years (vw's, Focus's, mini's) The question I ask is what would be better for a spirited driver (back roads and occasional autocross). I want a semi smooth ride with great handling, and looks dont hurt either. I do plan on upgrading to Prothane bushings as well as adding a 2g rear sway bar.

    I have looked on EBAY at 2g (since they work on a 7g) coil overs and there are kits that range from 600 to 2000.

    I would be looking at these coil over set ups:

    or these:

    Or should i just go with KYB agx's and a good set of springs? but which springs?

    I am presently running stock 14's and plan on upgrading to a 16" or 17" set up in the future. Also where is the best place to buy 7g suspension bits?

    Thanks and happy monday

    honestly, IMO, the yonaka's are a little harsh and bring a certain amount of bounce that i can't get rid of, no matter the setup. those other coilovers are the same price pretty much, so i can't imagine them being that much better.....i would get AGX struts with eibach springs. they carry good performance and is actually a nice ride
