I need a new suspension!!!!

Well the time has come for me to det a new suspesion for the SVX. The struts are gone. I need to know what is the best thing for me to get. It seems like Porter's is the best but he hasn't been around for a while. Does anyone have any idea's about how I can get a better than stock struts for less than the stock? I'll probably need springs too. And Top mounts. anything else?

Check with Subaru of Gwinnett or www.classicgarage.com for Koni strut inserts. They are probably out but a new batch is supposed to be on the way.

The Koni's are not a bolt in replacement there is a lot of cutting/welding/drilling involved.

They're worth it with the Ground Control springs which you can get from Subaru of Gwinnett.

I sell performance strut springs for the SVX. I designed them myself, and I have a shop manufacture them for me. The springs are 30% stiffer than the stock springs and are designed to work with the stock struts. No mods are required. They can also be used with the Koni struts. I also have a stiffer rear sway bar in development to complement either the OEM springs or my springs. With the stiffer sway bar, the handling bias goes from understeer to neutral/slight oversteer. Here is my website:

I've currently got a sale going on the springs. Here is the link:
