Can anyone with a bit of J-Body suspension knowledge give me an idea if this is a good grab:

-----------

I'm a cornering / touring type of guy, and care for suspension that can pull a decent g... I've had Koni's on my Subaru SVX and had no qualms... but I use GC spring there.

Does this package deal with the KONI springs hold up? Any comments??

I was just recently intro'd to Gravana, and am very pleased with their selection for my '99 2.4..... so I think this may be my first purchase if I can get some good feedback.

Thanks!

it will be prob a bit softer that what you are used to, yet still perform decently.

as for what you want from suspension, im in the same boat, i know what ya mean.

compared to what i had it kicks ass, however that was a blown stock setup.

for the price i didn't want to pass it up, was planning on yellows and goldlines or sportlines, but why not save a few hundred and do something else also. hell if you don't like em sell them, there only $24.99 more than just the yellows. you can't beat that price.

BlackEco just put that kit on a couple months back, i think he has Sport lines now. shoot him an E-mail and you can have firsthand knowledge.

as for me, I love my yellows...nuff said (with Pro-kit)

Great deal. That is probably the LEAST expensive quality suspension setup for the J's. I'd go for it if I already wasn't on GC/Koni

That's a great deal in my opinion. The springs may be a little softer than other performance springs available but you can always stiffen the shocks to compensate .

Koni's are normally around $500, so its like your getting a set of lowering springs for $100.

thanks for the pics man.

looks like the front sits higher than the rear though....is it the pics or does it?

Thats just how it looks to the eye.....but the car is actually level now. Because the back has so much more room, and it sat wayyyyy higher......it brought it down so much it looks lower in the back. But i assure u its level and looks good.

I also have that kit and love it. And it is just that pic cuz it does level the front and rear. I've also had people comment on how the car looks way better with the kit on.
