Which struts and springs?

My rear struts are beginning to my creaking noises in the rear, is that a bad sign? That's the only problem with them.

I've been thinking about getting AGX's but dont really know what springs to get, eibachs or RB.

What would you recommend. I have AAS but there are no installation differences than any onther FC once i remove the mechanisms right?


This will be pretty much my first mod that'll be done to my car. I have an auto GXL so i just want to make it a fun car to drive hard. All i have with the car is install brembo rotors and get Potenza RE950 tires for the stock wheels. Comfort is not a huge factor but price is, around $600 is what i can afford. This is my commuter car though, I drive 300 miles across the state like 8 times a year for school. I'd like to start doing auto-crossing events we have in my area. One-piece coilovers would be great but out of my range. And can anyone recommend places to buy or sellers on eBay.

oh yeah, are there any other write-ups than the one on fc3s.org?

the only thing youre going to have to do different is just remove the AAS motor thingys so you can reuse your top mounts. unless youre buying aftermarket ones.

im running RB springs/kyb agx's and i think its pretty good.
