What about KYB AGX and...

a good set of AutoZone, (or the like) springs? From what I'm reading the 1" lowering springs mess with rear camber and I don't want to get into screwing up my tires, so I'll go with stock ride height. Anyway KYB shocks and a "stock" new spring? Do I even need springs since my 88 GTU only has 75k miles?
Thanks,
~jason

Are you on a small budget or something? If you can spare alittle cash go with RB springs.

rear camber adjuster is 130 bucks, get some decent springs if your going to get those shocks.

im runnig Tanabe GF210's with Kyb AGX's awesome ride and setup. I bought the Mazdatrix camber adjustor for $130. Springs cost me $187 shipped, and shock from jdmwerks off ebay for $320 plus all new bushings(since its apart I replaced them). My shop here installed everything for me for $400. Im impressed with this setup. Keep an eye out for the pics I will be posting this weekend.

I just installed AGX's and Eibach's all the way around tonight. Drive is quite a bit different. Love it!

I just don't want to get into a rear camber adjuster thingy. Doesn't it screw up tires, or am I making too big a deal out of it?

Is this a rough, bumpy ride? I think my stock 88 GTU suspension is already stiff!
I appreciate the input guys.

If you're gonna go with KYB's Get the KYB AGX. with New Springs. That's all there is to it while you're there, it'll save you some time/money and it's worth it to get new springs.
I think more than an inch drop, you might need this: $105 RacingBeat
The Rear Suspension Camber Adjuster is an adjustable link that replaces the stock, fixed-length link to allow moderate rear camber changes by tilting the rear suspension subframe. The immediate range of adjustment is .60 degrees less negative camber to .77 degrees more negative camber. With careful inspection and possibly some minor dimpling of the floor pan, this range can be nearly doubled. After installation, adjustments to camber are quickly made. There is virtually no toe change with this adjustment

$130+$187+$320+$400+bushings/etc. = $1100? Is this about right?
$400 for installation?
Things like this is a very easy DIY.

Damn!
Have you thought about some coilovers such as this?:
