I was wondering about ways to improve my handling and think heavy duty performance shocks might help. I want to corner good but I don't want to give up my ride smoothness. Any reliable brands out there that you know of that would fit that request?

KYB Shocks could work with u

I have the FE1, so the base suspention which wasen't bad when I got the car, but with 110K on it its wearing out. How much do struts go for? You're probably right, I do hear a clunking while going over bumps so stuts are in need of replacement.

I have KYB'*, they cost around 70$ a piece for fronts and 40$ for rears. Maybe it was the other way around, either way should be around 250 total.

Hey Smellbird,Do you know the part number for the kyb'* ?.

Check your stabilizer bar endlinks and bushings. You might be in need of replacing those. That'* alot cheaper than struts, and easier.
