So, since I'm not getting coilovers in this lifetime, would a set of the gabriels that were mentioned earlier with some sport springs be a good idea or bad idea? I don't know if I had a brain fart and forgot the link or my post was snipped, but here was what I was looking at. <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1872829047&rd=1";>bilstein rear shocks</a> I haven't gotten the chance to look up the part # yet so I can't say if they're sport or hd or whatever.
