Default Rear Suspension Question

is the rear suspension really that important to upgrade on a DD? im thinking of getting a koni/strano setup for the front but i dont want to spend that much cash on the rear if it wont be worth it as much as the front. i would probably just put in new shocks (kyb) and do the hose mod on the rear

I don't think there's much point in doing half. If you want the car to handle right save up and buy the whole package.

Get a good k member first. I think umi and bmr make them with poly mounts attach to the k member if you want poly mounts. Then a arms when you do the shocks and springs. Then sfc's then the rest. Dont get a shock tower brace unless you are pickin up the front.

Best handling increase you will get that won't hurt a DD is a good set of rims & tires, swaybars, and shocks/springs.
