Suspension....

My 88 N/A is basically stock and I'd like to do the suspension now.

I was looking at Intrax springs and KYB AGX struts..... will there be a noticeable improvment over stock? Do I need sway bars to really feel the difference in the corners?

I was looking at the intrax springs cause they drop it a good 1.75" and the KYB's I can get from a local dealer fairly cheap.

ANy opinions and suggestions are much appreciated.

Thanks.

Intrax springs are more geared towards people wanting there car low, then wanting there car to handle well. When you lower your FC more than 1" or so, you are going to have major camber issues, and will need camber adjusters to compensate for it. If you are willing to do it right, then go for it. If not, racing beat, Tokico, and eibach all make great springs for our cars. They do not drop it as much as Intraxs though. KYB or Tokico struts would be a good choice also. You will feel a definate improvement over stock with a good spring/strut setup.

I'd look at the racing beat ones.
