I was going to recommend the full ES kit, but I'm glad you found it. FYI: You can get it SLIGHTLY cheaper at Summit if you're interested.

EBay $94.99 + $9.99 s/h = $104.98
Summit $93.99 + $8.95 h = $102.94

The nice thing about Summit is their shipping is 'free', you only have to pay the $8.95 handling fee per order. So if there is anything else you need and can get from them, you pay no additional shipping/handling costs.

EnergySuspension

Mattb, I bought that same kit on eBay. When they sent me an e-mail about the purchase they told me that it was cheaper on their web site. Here is a link to it:

Good luck with them.

For coilovers you should go with Ground Controls...

Well.... IMO... if you are going to replace all those bushings... you should replace your rear suframe mounts and the diff mount while you are at it..

WTF's with the BOOTS?????

you don't want the red ones YOU WANT THE BLACK ones. The red squeek like crazy so the developed a black version that has graphite in them to help with this problem. The reason the reds are all on ebay and cheaper than they ever were is because they have been replaced with a new and improved version. Get the black

really the only "coil overs" that go over shocks are the ground control ones. I'd still rather have racing beat or eibach springs though. but I'm planning on just buying real coilovers

Raceing beat's are a little bit stiffer than stock, my friend uses them and does very well at auto-x's most everything else is close to stock and just provide lowering. I have KG/MM brand springs which are comparable to the RS*R race springs. I'm useing these on KYB AGX shocks and energy suspension bushings. Its a very stiff setup and sometimes uncomfortable to drive around on but it does well at auto-x (i just need to get my front end to plant a bit better ) anyways i've heard nothing but good things on the ground control coilovers.

I forgot most the numbers but i think it goes as follows

Stock 110 in/lb
raceing beats: 135 in/lb
and mine were around 400in lb

Hey Bukwild if you noticed the energy bushings they are selling are the black ones, unless you specify that you want the red ones.

Eibachs are progressive.. Most guys don't like 'em for auto-x

If you want the cheapest solution for auto-x.. get the racing beats and a set of AGX's Ride's a litle rougher on the street than the eibachs, but they are crisper on the track because of it!! The Eibachs are progressive, and when you do a quick turn, they feel mushier, for an instant, than the racing beats.

Don't forget about anti-roll bars.. I have RB roll bars on my car, I've driven a car with stock roll bars and racing beat springs with tokikos, and my car handles better hands down.. I've driven a car with RB roll Bars, RB springs and AGX's and it was just a bit crisper than mine.
