| what is a good suspension upgrade for my car? because my suspension is pretty much shot it feels like a boat floating on water and it bounces. i was thinking about kyb gr-2 struts but im not sure if i have to replace the springs or anything |

| If the struts have never been replaced, then you might be very satisfied with just stock OEM replacements. I did mine when I bought my car becasue mine were shot. After replacement I could go over bad railroad tracks and bearly feel them. It's not fun to do, but worth it in the end. It's a couple hour job. I did not replace my springs, I have no problems. |

tirerack.com has some reviews on the kyb struts....if you like feeling every crack and bump in the road....be my guest.
I would go with the Monroe Sensatrac or Gabriel Ultra struts.

| yeah im hitting corners at 45 with no problem that i could barley hit at 30 before this its like night and day for my car the only thing thats weird is the braking. The front of the car doesnt tip fowards nearly as much as it used to and it feels like the brakes dont work as good anymore then again its probaly just me. |

| glad you're satisfied with them. I have had no problems with mine. When I replaced my struts the first time, I used the econo-rebuilt struts. I changed them out within 6 months. I will never cheap out on struts again! ;-) |
