I was wondering if AE92 GT-S springs and shocks will offer an improvement over my stock 94 prizm suspension. I know it will work but i have never been in a 90 gt-s so i dont know what the handling is like, i know its the performance version so i would assume it has sport suspension. Only reason im asking is because if its stock stuff I get a 50% discount at my job and of course, any improvement would be nice.

Yes it is better suspension.

But IMO just get the sway bars from the 4age power car, then some good lowering springs with new shocks. It will be alot nicer to drive.

dont have the money for that right now or i would, new shocks and springs with my discount would only be 100$ if that. I am buying another 5sp prizm so i can take transmission and accesories out so im tight for cash. Down the line i'll probaly get the ksport coilovers after the winter but they gotta be done now. Just wondering if its a stiffer ride, and if the car will be a tad lower as i think its heavier.

The GTS suspension is sporty dude, the AE101 sedan suspension is nowhere near that. If you go with aftermarket suspension whether you go with AE92 or AE101 aftermarket suspension is going to be the same.

OEM, the GTS suspension is firmer but not by much, it's the sway bars that make the difference in the AE92, otherwise my OEM suspension minus the lowering springs was soft. With lowering springs I find it's still somewhat soft but probably not as bad as the sedans.
