So a buddy of mine recently installed some KYB AGX's on his 87 GXL, using the stock springs. He let me drive it for the first time ever, and I was purely amazed. Not to mention, the W-compound Azenies got me as well. Then I hopped back in my FC with stock suspension and felt like ****...

So a while later I found a guy with some KYB GR-2 non-adjustable's with Racing Beat Springs that he said he'd sell me for $250. They haven't been on his FC long either. I've looked around on ebay and racingbeat.com, and the shocks go for around $250 new and the springs $210 w. racingbeat. So I know I'll be getting a good deal.

But my question is, would that set up be good for just normal street driving with a good bit of 'spirited' driving daily? Or should I look for something else?

Thanks,
-Brett

 

That should be a pretty good setup for what you describe. No need to go with fancy adjustable stuff or coilovers if you're not hardcore into autocross or track use.

 

That sounds like a good setup, you might want to use stock TII springs with the shocks since they're stiffer. I think Roen ran that setup, you might want to PM him.
