new suspension question
I'm getting the KYB AGX's and I'm planning on doing a full(somewhat) suspension upgrade. I'm looking to get a new front sway bar and new bushings. What would you guys recomend as far as those parts?

racing beat springs and sway bar kit,
just get the whole suspension kit listed on their web site,
plus add in the poly bushings from energy suspension.
what a difference in mine.

I don't like the Racing beat springs(20%) rate increase) to much if the ride is mostly used for daily driving. Much to harsh.
The racing beat springs are just that for being beat on while racing...LOL
They are pretty stiff for daily driving but fine for some light autocrossing.
I preffer some Eibach with only a 10% rate increase.
That's my 2 cents.

^^^^ that maybe true,
i also have the AGX's (with the racing beat suspension kit & poly bushings),
and being as those are adjustable, makes things better.
not everyone will have the same opinion about a comfy suspension,
i'm very happy with what i'm running, that's all that matters to me.
as for the tie rod ends,
probably factory replacements will be good enough for street driving and the odd back road runs,
really it all depends on "how" you drive your car.

i plan to start autocross when i get everything upgraded, so i will be taking the car to its limits (within reason) so i want the best i can get. i'm open on the springs since it is my daily driver. the racing beat kit looks like a great upgrade.

oh ya i'm using this for a drift setup so i need things fairly stiff i asume an autocrass setup would be similar with a few changes to the suspension geometry. Toe, Camber, anti-Squat, rear steer etc.....
