I figure just change the struts and put in new springs, front brake pads, and get new tires. then i will see how the car rides after that. will go with KYB GR-2 struts, but not sure which coil springs to get yet. as all New Yorkers know, our roads here in the city are like a military obstacle course every day. the tri-state area is murder on our cars.
