I'll make this short and sweet because theres no telling when this modem will cut out again. I need new struts. I figure i'll replace the springs at the same time. I checked the K2RD site, but it doesn't seem to be up. From what I read in previous posts Koni makes the better Shocks available for the FC. My question is, where would be the best place to order the Yellows & how much am I looking at?
Now springs are another story. Has anybody tried the Eibachs yet. I know they are suppose to better pretty well built. Racing Beat has a little package deal with their springs & Eibach f&r sway bars for around $430, any thoughts?
I basically just need a good starting point to pass on to the next owner. This 7 was one of the unfortunate ones equipt with an Auto tranny. For those who feel like commenting, yes the auto will be swapped, but right now I need suspension work. My alignment is crap.

I was think about the Tokiko ILLUMINA Struts to begin with. But, I heard some bad stories about them. Guess it's a case by case basis. I do like TEIN, didn't know they made the springs for the FC model. Might have to look into those

I had both Tokicos and Konis on one of my Turbo IIs with Eibach springs. I liked the Konis much better.
I often get my stuff from www.shox.com, but I think the rX7store.net also sells this stuff.
