Default CR suspension in MY00

I have a MY00. I am looking at suspension for it. I started thinking after reading about how well the "stock" CR suspension performed, what if I put CR shocks and front and rear sway bars and probably the streering rack stiffener on my MY00.

Compaired to the cost of some of the coilover set-ups it is fairly cheap. You could pick up all of the parts from Hardtop Guy for about $1500.

What do you guys think?

Edit: If there is a CR owner out there. Have you driven both a CR and a non CR and how much of a change in ride should I expect?

Don't forget I am on 16" rims and not as wide of a tire. How would all of those things effect the handling. I want to improve it but am I opening Pandoras Box?

I just figured if I can get OEM parts that perform as well if not better them after market stuff, why not.

well said, i was at SOW(socal track) and the CR just corner so flat and so more confidently. needless to say my relatively stock ap1 couldn't keep up

pss9s are worth looking at; they have similar spring rates and could be a bit cheaper. the performance is probably comparable, but you may prefer a dropped look.

also, have there been any issues with getting a larger-than-normal gap when installing CR springs, or am i remembering wrong/was it a poor install?
