Suspension help

I am trying to get the most I can with $800. I am thinking about getting new struts, springs and bushings.

I was thinking of regular struts (I don't think my budget would be able to cover adjustables).

1 set of Tokico Premium front struts $224
1 ser of Tokico Premium rear struts $136
1 set of Tokico 3/4" lowering springs. $215
1 set of urethane bushing for the fonrt/rear sway bars and c-arms. $105

$680 Total+shipping charges

So far these are the best prices I've found at www.corksport.com

Can somone suggest other brands or other ideas on what to get?
Does anyone know where I can get better prices online?
This is for a '91 N/A stock suspension.
TIA

Thats a pretty good plan with the budget you have. If possible though, it'd be nice if you saved maybe another 400-600 more and purchased a set of coilovers.

don't bother with the blue tokico's, at least get illuminas.. they shouldn't cost that much more.

Thanks for the link, they do have better prices than corksport.

Well the plan now is to go with

set of 4 KYB adjustables $410
set of Suspension Tech Springs 1" lowering $189
Bushings $100

Total $699+shipping which is within budget.

Definately go with the AGX's. I've got those with Eibach springs and I love it. Another thing that will really help your handeling is lower profile wheels. I dont know what size wheels you have on your car, but good tires and rims make a huge difference. Since your on a budget, you could see if the turbo wheels fit, thats what I did.

I have the stock size tires on the car, they have very low milage so I have to wear them out before replacing them, not that I would be able to afford new tires right now anyway

fc3s.org has a suspension kit that includes springs bushings and swaybars for $400 +410 for struts+** for shipping and thats not bad over budget and you get your swaybars, and are ready to tear up the road course.

I've got the KYB AGX's with Racing Beat springs and I love how they feel. I originaly wanted the ST springs, but noone seemed to have them in stock. RB
