KYB AGX
H&R Springs
KYB Strut and Shock Mount
Am I missing anything for a suspension replacement? Here is where I need some help with finesse. Sum it all up-$927 and that isn't even shipping, so I need to buy everything in pieces. The question is this: in what order should they be purchased and installed?

heres my personal opinion:
buy what you can and wait until you have everything
otherwise you could do the springs now but that would require disassembling your stock struts to put the springs in and then dissembling again to put the springs on your new struts. if you install that mounts now your just going to put wear and tear on them and i suppose the struts too if u just did those. just get everything when u can and installed all at once. imo

Aside from learning what I need to for myself, I was hoping to accomplish that as well. People always bash the noobs for not searching, but 99% of the threads are fragmented and poorly listed so it is near impossible.
Matt recommends the MOOG mounts, but I can't find them listed. I will go with the KYBs and not have any issues, but if they are that much better it would be good to have them.
H&R springs drop 1.6" in the front, 1.4" in the back...am I even going to notice that? Performance, I am sure I will notice, but looks are key too. Do the struts enable a drop as well?

Trouble is they don't make eibachs anymore. Looks like a small decrease. Not crazy though.

buy it for the grand am.
I bought mine locally for $100 and I can tell you it makes a HUGE difference performance wise and if you have the right size tires ( which I don't ) you will see a difference specially if your running 17's or 18's

yeah you can still buy them for grand am ive found em on alot of sites. i plan on getting em just cause i dont want a crazy drop on the car. just enough to close that wheel gap i dont want to drive and scrape the bottom of my car on pot holes or any speedbumps or getting up friends driveways and scrapping my front bumper lol.
