If you wanna go nuts then get ksports coilovers for a 323... they are stiff as hell and will make ur car feel like it is on rails.

Lol yea, the 323 ones are like 700 bones, thats a good deal, 32 way adjustable.. Pillow ball mount.. Other then that you would be looking at the ZX2 S/R struts from Ford and the Ground Control coilover sleeves. Altogether will cost as much as the ksports

I just installed ZX2 struts with H&R springs and I am very happy with the setup, especially after getting it aligned with a bit of an autocross tune.

I know you said you don't care about ride comfort, but if it makes any difference at all, the H&Rs are still nice to ride on even on my cities shitty roads.

Just so you know why he's telling you to get ford struts, there made by tokico and are basically the same as getting tokico struts, but why get them from ford? cheaper than getting them from anyone else :)

The ZX2-S/R struts with ground control coilovers are THE BEST performance for the money.

The K-Sports are junk. Read up on em.

I cant believe no one has thrown down Koni inserts. They are nice. I rode a set of those and H&Rs for about a year and loved it. Its not to hard to get them in there.

So, to have the best set-up
go with the ground control coilover conversion and new struts. For the sturts, which one of these two would be recomended? ZX2 struts or KYB-GR2s? is there anyway to get the ground control coilovers for less than 400?

The valving on the kyb's will not match up well with the GC's, the ford zx2 sr's have a higher valving rate and will be better suited for the GC's. I dont think you will find a better deal on the GC's unless they are used. But dont do things half assed, get a new set from corksport.
