IF you price out AGX struts, GC sleeves, and camber plates new, you get roughly $1144.00 without shipping or taxes.

Stance GR+ Coilovers go for $1200, are well designed, and have independent rideheight/spring compression adjustability, so even if you slam your car you still have full shock travel. You can get these with softer spring rates like 8K front 6K rear as well if you are worried about them being too stiff.

The stock AAS is crap, and should be gutted, the FC does not deserve such a disgrace of a suspension "system". IF you need a different center thing of W/E I got one for you.

People that don't have experience with modding often are very "Superstitious" when it comes to stuff, and worry about stipid shit like those AAS buttons, keeping the intake sleeves on a 6pt system, keeping emissions that down work, etc..... come on, it's a 20 y/o car. I bet once you get some new shocks that actually work, you will forget all about the ass.... I mean aas anyway.

I'm definitely not inexperienced with modding cars (well, with the RX-7 I am), and like I said, I have no problem removing the system if it comes down to it - I just don't know what all is involved at this time. I also don't like useless buttons hanging around. My original idea was that because I've scaled back my plans for this car that I wouldn't dump $1000+ on the suspension. If I do decide to change the struts I'd likely go with Tokico HP's or something similar as I wouldn't need the adjustability on a daily driver. FWIW, I never knew the AAS was crap...

So you have a center console without the AAS buttons? I'm listening...
