i have the pro kit and agx on my 98 and its good for the money. i have driven the slp stage 1 and 2 suspension cars and they dont seem that much better. At last my sister has koni's and stock springs and i like that ride the best.

I would also recommend koni sa shocks with the lower perch/heater hose mod.Eibach
are are not all that good. Strano lowering springs are a lot better.Just my 2 cents.
