Need help choosing suspension!!!

So, shortly after I got the G, I noticed the suspension needed replacement badly. I plan on lowering the car and since I need new suspension, I figured this would be a great time to do it. I found KYB Struts, Shocks, and lowering springs for $400 on eBay, does anyone know what to buy and if KYB is a good brand? Thanks!

I have seen that on eBay too. Kyb is a good brand. But I don't know if those springs are any good. I forget what brand the springs were. I too may be interested in this deal if the springs turn out to be decent.

KYB is good for a mild drop, what springs did you see? How much do they lower?

Not bad of a product (M2 lowering springs) They are relative new product compared to other lowering springs. Pair wit the KYB it could turn alright.

How long do you think they would be good for? And it says average drop is 2 inches, would that be a noticeable deference? And thanks for the help so far guys!

imho, the gr-2's arent the best shocks/struts for lowering. i had them on my daily when i had tein s-techs on it and after a bit of time my shocks started to blow the seals out. i also daily drove my car and if i could have done it again i would have either bought new kyb agx shocks and the same springs. or with the amount of money youd spend on that just throw in a little more and get a set of coilovers. just my $.02

Thanks for the advice! I kinda figured these arent the best since they're cheap. Lol. I also am looking at coilovers and the cheapest ones I have found are like a grand. Do you know where I can find cheaper ones?

Cheapest coilovers I have found are Megan Racing EZ street series for $700.
