Whiteline Suspension?

anybody have any input on whiteline suspension? i'm looking for the best bang-per-buck suspension mods ... pdm-racing.com has some good deals ... in particular, i'm looking at the complete whiteline suspension kit (bushings, springs, sways, etc) coupled w/ some kyb agx .... the car will mainly be used for autoX purposes (and drift if i learn eventually ) ...

help a newbie out

Dont have any personal experience with that suspension combo, but I have heard from a few people that love it. Its a great, and pretty cheap, suspension upgrade.

I have the Whiteline sways, T/C rod bushings and control arm bushings with AGX's and Eibach Springs.

The end links for the Whiteline sways kind of suck - but performace wise the package works well. I will be doing the rear bushings this spring.

I didn't have any failures, but either the nut or the bolts on both end front end links are stripped. This basically means that I'm stuck on the stiffest setting. It's easy enough to replace, but you'd expect the hardware included in in 'adjustable' link to withstand a few assedmblies and removals.

Don't have them but I've ridden in an S13 with them - nice ride there. Not as stiff as my Tein S-techs, but nice ride nonetheless
