my car handles like crap, and i can't stand it!
okay besides doing springs and shocks, what can do i do to make it handle better? I'm sick of trying to take turns and then my wheels go all crazy on me! struts/sways? those cheap obx ones? nothing too expensive, but what are my options?

You can throw a set of 17's or 18's on your car. That alone would help. I suppose you could throw a set of AGX's in the car with the stock springs if you don't plan on lowering the car. Not sure about sways. I haven't felt them for myself.

AGX are more than adequate, byt Konis are reported to be better. I've seen the Pro-Kit on eBay for $169.00 + $29.00 shipping http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33586 and KYB AGXs for $267.00 + $15.00 shipping http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ategory=33590.

How is the ride after installing the Koni's? Is it really stiff?

throw the switch one way, smooove as hell. Go the other way, hard as a mofo and killer handling. That's money, though. Reds don't really ride that hard, although much higher performance than most in their class.

OOH!
You could also do Tociko Blues. They'll make your lowered ride feel like stock again. But, there's no higher performance. They'll blow out almost as well as stock if you drive hard ;D

sup G, the tokiko blues will also make the car slightly lower than the other struts(don't know why), you can check out how the combo looks on my Accord. I'll be driving it back to SJ tommorrw. You check out how it rides too, but if I were you I'd go with the Koni's they ride alot better.

I'm thinking about trading in my 3.0CL and will part with my Eibach pro-kit/KYP AGX setup for around $375 + shipping!
The Eibach springs are just a bit firmer than stock, without being harsh. The KYB's can be set 3 different ways up front and 6 ways in the back. You can make your car float like a Caddy or ride real nice!
No need for a camber kit...all I had was an alignment and I see no signs of wear on my Khumo tires!
