    Hey everyone. I am planning on replacing my struts and springs. I've narrowed it down to the KYB AGXs but not quite sure which springs to run. Anyone have any suggestions? Looking for a decent ride but wouldn't mind sacrificing it a little for some good handling. BTW it's an 02 2.5RS with a front strut bar for suspension mods so far.

    Prodrive Blues. Modest stance, much improved handling without sacrificing a comfortable ride.

    i have KYB AGX with RCE yellow springs, and i love them. My girl thinks they can be i bit rough. We just take her car on car trips then.

    prodrive blues are awesome springs, this is what i have in my bugeye...however i dont believe they make them anymore, someone correct me if im wrong.

    in my old car i used eibach springs and also H&R springs, i likes both sets but the H&R made the car sit a little lower then i really wanted. Eibachs were great!

    If you can't find the blue prodrives check out Epic Engineering springs. Basically prodrive blues with a different name brand. Getting great reviews on nasioc and elsewhere.

    I have some ground control sleeves and springs on mine. Far better than i was anticipating and having height adjustment is nice. Otherwise I really liked the v7 sti springs. As The Snowman said the H&R's lower it too much for my taste though the progressive spring makes for a tish smoother ride.

    I personally liked the Tanabe GF210s. gives the car a great stance and the handling is greatly improved. but i had mine with JDM STi struts.

    Yeah. I was looking into the Tanabes too. Wasn't sure if anyone had used them before.
