my ride = great.

new KYB GR-2's, eibach's, new strut mounts, anti pogo washer all around.
for a lowered car, i've never had a smoother ride.

did the same setup in my old mustang, but used sprint lowering springs and didnt use anti pogo washers (dont make them for that year) and the ride was HORRIBLE, but i could take turns at 70 no problem haha.

scour ebay, i got my springs for 180 shipped new in box from a private seller.
struts were only 235 shipped off ebay.
got the rest through zzp.
it was right at 500 for a brand new suspension. car had 55,000 on it and the strut mounts were shot. so be careful.

ive emailed ssc about springs before and asked them about the antipogo washers because it seemed like a load of crap to me and they responded that they havent heard of them, and i didnt see them on there site. regardless theyre not expensive and they wouldnt hurt but when i go to lower mine im not buying them.

if you can find vogtland springs get them first before ssc. last i heard of the vogtland was it was on back order. i'm still riding on stock struts my body/suspension have about 45k miles. when i upgrade to AGX struts i'll probably replace the strut mounts, oh i have ssc springs btw.

So the Anti-pogo washers just remove the bounce in the the ride? Wouldn't lowering the car do that any way because everything is now stiffer? IDK.
