    this is kind of off topic, and probably a dumb question.
    my brother is getting new springs for his gsr, i was wondering if his stock ones would fit on my 92egt... and if they did, would their be a noticeable drop or less bumpy ride? i'm also wondering if a stock gsr shifter would fit on my car...

        Man that is sweet, I am looking into finding the LX/E wagon this year, I like the hatchback but I want the wagon, so many more things can be done to it.

                For a little more (340 shipped probably, maybe less if you hit ebay) I'd just get ZX2 S/Rs and Eibachs.

                  I swear you guys don't know your tire sizes.

                    I did sprint springs on spring tech struts on the beater. That car is just the daliey driver and it rides nice. Could use some sway bars though the body roll bugs me a bit.

                      dennis you are correct i was wrong before 205 50's are slightly smaller than normal and 205 55's are slightly bigger.

                        I had the spring tech struts on dropzone springs. That was my first suspension setup.

                        The struts blew after a few months.

                            regular tokico's are ok but the tokico s/r's are better the tokico s/r's were factory equip for the rare zx2 s/r

                              When I had ground controls I blew S/R's in 2 weeks. When you start slamming to the ground struts are going to blow. There's no way around that.

                                This is true.

                                I'm sure all 4 of my ZX2's are blown right now as my car is lowered at least 4".
                                When you're that low, you have no suspension because you are not utilizing your struts. My struts are completely compressed, and I'm riding around on springs pretty much. The only thing my struts do is support my car.

                                Oh well, things you have to sacrifice for looks.
