Budget AE92 springs and struts
I was thinking of the following:
Eibach Pro Kit 8212.140
KYB GR-2 365064 (front)
KYB GR-2 234031, 234032 (why are there two numbers, one for each side?)
I don't want to spend a lot, so it sounds good. It's about $190 for the struts and $180 for the springs.
Thoughts?

No..I just really don't like ebay, you never know if you're getting seconds, or the duds or anything lol.
I piad about 300CDN for the B+^ Springs and about 80 bucks a piece per strut..for your reference.

Ahh, but what if I don't want adjustable? I have that on the MR2... no need for the daily driver!
BTW, will the GR2's work OK with the 1" drop from the Eibachs?
Also, I've been told that the part number I posted above is for the GTS only; due to having replaceable cartridges. Anyone know the numbers I need for my lowly SR5?

aaron.. I believe the AWD wagons came with cartridges also, but it was a different number (363060)
The SR5s and sedans use PNs
RF: 234035
LF: 234036
BTW the AGX cartridge PN for AE92 GTS, SW20 MR2 and ST165 Celicas is
765015

They're probably complaining when they make noise because they weren't made for an AE92s weight. A CRX is what like 1500lbs compared to 2300lbs on the AE92.

Either that or they are too short and they are flopping around at full extention! The guy who had my MR2 cut my springs and whenever I go over a bump they knock... it sucks!
