I've kinda neglected the suspension, its just some Tokico Blue's with some no name coilovers. I've been looking into an Omni or Skunk2 set up.....eventually.

lol no shame, I have the exact same shock/spring setup :hehe:
Bushings made a huge difference. after I installed the bushing kit, the Tokico blues had to work alot harder since the new bushings didn't absorb like the rotten oem rubber ones did. My rear Tokicos are leaking now... but that might be from too much weight in the back too.

For some reason the suspension is the easiest thing to skimp out on. My homie has a Skunk2 set up and it rides sooo much better than my car, so hopefully in the near future I'll upgrade.
