I have KYB UltraSR shocks (gold color) with stock springs. I don't want lowering my car because of the crappy roads here.

I also have Brisk front and rear strut bars.

Oh, I vote for shock+sway bar, minus me. I have shocks+strut bar.

You don't have a choice for Swaybars, Springs, Struts, and Strutbars
So I didn't vote

EDIT: Nevermind, I edited the poll, to add that choice in there.

KYB GR2's are nice OEM replacement struts, but I wouldn't count them as a "performance" or "racing" struts.

I got Koni Yellows with Eibach Prokit springs, and front/rear strut bar.

Yes they are not truly performance and less racing upgrades, but IMO OEM shocks are so poor, that you really make a great improvement with GR-2; what I mean is, while they are not truly sport, you can not use springs with OEM shocks (not even new ones) but the GR-2 perform nicely with H&R's and Eibachs mild springs.
Knoi's are just too hard IMO, like full race or rally shocks, but too hard for everyday driving.

I left the Strut bars out because IMO they are 60% engine bay enhancements, and only 40% performance upgrades (don't read me wrong, I have both of them) so unless your car's suspnesion has been fully modified and you ar in the very fine tuning phase, strut bars make no diff. however they are a nice mod and many of us begunn with them right?

Thanks to both moderators for improving the poll options B)
I hope many more members vote.
