Well, I just aquired a 97 SE, and I want to get some basic things done...

I was thinking about struts(front, rear, tie), but I cant decide who to go with. I was looking on ebay and I don't feel to comfortable with their $20 strut bars...What should I be looking for, I know thicker isn't always better, but what is??

Then I was looking at KYB AGX struts, but I am not looking for comfort, so are there any other ideas?? As far as springs go, sportlines were looking pretty good, but I am not sure what the safe limit to lower the car without interference with tires or rims.

I know if I am modding suspension, then I might as well do bushings, is there any brand you recommend when it comes to these? And as a begenning daily driver/ drift car, should I worry about control arms or tierods yet...?
