What a difference!! The front struts were the original... With 167,000 miles on them. It's like a new car now :dancenana

I went with tokico blues. Eibach pro springs and maximum Motorsport camber /caster plates. The gap between the back tires and wheel well is about 1 1/2 inchs. Front is about 1 in. Sits perfect now

I had the same exact set up on my LX and loved it! If you havent already, be sure to get the Steeda or MM bumpsteer kit prior to getting an alignment.

Does it really make that much of a difference? I haven't gotten the kit yet but if it really makes that much of a difference I will

Personally I think its well worth the ~$150 and you will see the difference in handling esp on non smooth highway driving. If you think about it, you just lowered your center of gravity and the geometry of your car, the kit will allow you to adjust and compensate accordingly. I know alot of people go without, but for the cost/benefit I think its a must have...just my .02

Thx for your .02. I'm just gonna get the kit. When I bought the cc plates I was looking at them. Didn't think I'd need it.

Anytime, the biggest difference you will not be able to notice because the car will handle like its "supposed" to and not over-steer! :)
