    I am looking to upgrade suspension. I was looking at KYB GR2/Excel G struts. Should I just get stock springs or lowering springs?
    Any suggestions on which way I should go would be helpful. Thanks

    the KYBs are going to feel slightly more sporty than stock. monroe's are going to feel like stock. if you are just driving your car by all means go with the cheap monroe's.

    if you want lowering springs do not even debate it and get the GR2/Excel G.

    a lot of people run them and they arent all bad.

    i have my own opinions on them, but that is only an opinion. i would rather run eibach again like i had previously.

    Springs from 97-03 will work on 04+. Just the front struts were different between the two as far as I know.
