New Suspension Plan Alright, so i lowered my car on stock shocks against everyones word and i thought it rode good at first, but now i realize that it down right just sucks. My car feels like a piece of ****, squeaks rattles bounces you name it. Time to fork out the money for some new shocks,panhard bar..
From the way it looks now, kyb agx shocks are the shocks to go with (Not spending the money on Koni's.)
As far as the panhard bar, my stock one is hitting that brace above it and is very very annoying. So i figured i'd go with the umi single adjustable one. I also noticed that these squeaks have developed as of lately in the rear. The ones that sound like a squeaky bed when you push up and down on the car. i Just bought some lithium grease and am going to inialate the rear suspension with it. Would it be worth it to grab a set of rear lower control arms? I'm not that worried about traction/racing, pure ride quality....

If you're car is squeakin when you push down, its probably the stock shocks. Just noticed you said AGX shocks, those are actually a descent replacement from what i've read. I wouldn't think LCA's would give you a better ride quality, maybe help if you hit a hard bump it would prevent some tire hop?
