    I recommend it if you do a drop lower than 1.5". Eibach is good... stay away from the crappy OBS ones on eBay. I had those and they sucked (poor quality metal).

    You will need an alignment after you install a camber kit. You should install the struts, springs and camber kit then get an alignment.

    So we are sure that Road Magnets springs from 93-97 will fit an 02? Will there be any modifications needed?

    No modifications needed. They'll fit. I've exchanged suspension setups between my car and my friend's 97 numerous times.

    Unless you're getting real coilovers and not coilover sleeves, they're not worth it. The ride will be harsh and you'll kill any strut you use with them real quick.

    yeah i had my tokicos for a long time. i had no problems with them. if you drive properly you can lessen the chance of messing the struts up.
