    should work...I think thats what I got. Why not just save to money and get em in a bit? I mean you will be taking apart the suspension anyway just get it all done at the same time. Have your brother just get the stuff and pay him back

    If you are looking for a easy and immediate upgrade..the front and rear tie bar. The tie bars will stiffen up the chassis and will improve your handling.

    If you are looking for a big difference of a upgrade..then the bushings. It will just be more time consuming because pressing out the original bushings and prepping and pressing the new ones in is time consuming. Overall you will be happy..because the big difference in overall suspension response you get with the better bushings.

    Well, I just saw an ad in For Sale forum about energy bushings and It was for under $100. You can get great deals if you look in other forums like DSMTuners and Team 2g.

    As far the tie bars, the cheap ones work too. Here's the link:

    Hi peano! I have replaced my stock shocks with kyb gas shocks those standard gas shocks only. I want to get those adjustable kyb's but they are not available here at Philippines, maybe can get them but expensive. Which one is good for 7g? Thanks!
