Message The verts really hate unsprung weight combined with bad roads. I went down this same path over the years - the wheels make as much difference as the suspension. For a long time I ran heavy Moda R6 wheels with the KYB AGX setup. Now I run light weight LMGT4s with Powertix SS 5k/7k and it is like night and day. (Other suspension mods: subframe spacers, new tension rod bushings and steering bushings).

You can test this by throwing you stock wheels back on and going for a spin. Might help you decide where you want to spend your money.

Hope this helps ....
