Prototype suspensions rock. I have several tanks of gas into mine.

For parts: struts, shocks, springs, front & rear strut bars...around $900 spent

Labor was just about $150 to fix my front suspension after friend error...

I spent too much on my suspension. So far Ive had rksport prostreets and bilstein coilovers. I think all together Ive spent around $3000. Im selling the bilsteins if you want them.

I feel better now that Event listed his total.

I've spent in the neighbourhood of $3000 on my suspension.

Of course, I'm up at Event's level if you include the brakes.

Funny cause I was just on the phone with org member Mastin and he was asking me the same question and then I read this lol.

Basically, I have Sportlline springs which are 1.7 front drop, 2.3 rear drop. The AGXs are warrantied up to 1.5 drop only for somewhat a reason. I have a body kit and with this type of drop it's really low to the ground. I had to adjust it to the max to get the best ride and no scratching on the kit...and it works!

The AGXs I defenitley recommend cause they hold up great even with it maxed out BUT I realize with the springs I have that I will need to change them before the end of the year. Basically it depends on what springs you get...I should have gotten Konis to handle it better but oh well. If you get the Pro-kit or springs that are aren't lower than 1.5 drop than go ahead and get them. They really are a great strut/shock package though.

Zach is that the Addco bar in your pics you sent me with the tie bar installed?
the reason I ask is that I have the RK bar and I have my center bushings pointed to the ground. in your picture the bushings are up inside the twist beam, or pointed up, and the end links are much shorter than mine as well.
