Whats up guys , im about to order some suspension/steering components but i need some feed back/info.I'll be replacing all four shocks , lower control arms , inner and outer tie rods and the sway bar links.Now i have a couple of questions

i need some feedback on the kyb gr2. how do they feel? im looking for a stock feel as this is just my daily driver.

Any advice on which lower control arms i should buy?

Moog replacement tie rods any good?

Thanx
Dennis
 
GR-2's are fine for a stock replacement if you don't plan on lowering the car any (or very very little). I'd assume moog lower control arms would be a good choice, or OEM replacements. Moog tie rods are fine, i'd recommend doing outers as well if you're that far in. Be sure to check out your end links as well.
 
I had Gr-2's for a few months before i went with full coil overs...the KYB's were identical to stock from what i could tell...great ride, but not too soft...I was using them with some Tein S tech springs, which are on the softer side...but fixed rate, not progressive...never had any problems...
 
What about the lower control arms? any advice on which ones i should go with? i havnt seen replacement ball joints for our cars so thats why im considering buying the whole control arm
 
The ball joints are only sold as part of the control arm assembly. Moog should be fine (they're about 125 a side) or OEM parts (more expensive).
