susp setup ??'s opinions welcome

ok, i was looking at the eibach pro kit springs, and kyb struts for my rs. does anyone have this setup? do i need new control arms with this?
is there a better more cost-effective setup to go with?
my plan is to put the new stuff in the rs and then take the rs parts and put them in the z, since it needs new springs and struts.
also does my z have larger sway bars than the rs? b/c i will swap those out as well.
thank you, any help or suggestions will be helpful

The Pro-Kit with KYBs is a great setup, I've had mine in for about 5 months now. I strongly recommend it for a budget minded upgrade. No you don't need new control arms, just get it aligned after.

As far as the sway bars go, you'll just have to measure. Both my Iroc and my RS came stock with the exact same springs and 34 mm hollow bars up front. The Iroc came with a 24mm solid rear bar, the RS with a 21mm solid rear bar.

GR2 struts and the Gas-A-Just rears. I was told this was a matched combo and other guys who are running the same pair were happy with them. Summit lists them as a set in their catalog also.

racereno,

No setting. These aren't the AGX adjustables. I dunno why they call 'em "Gas A Just".
