If everything seems to be in control, you're not going fast enough.

K-sports are junk, they have been tested over and over again and found to have ZERO adjustability. Plus they blow out after a few months.

Buy the BC's through modern, you won't be sorry.

The newer ones could be better, but I would go with your locally made KW's. Those cost about $300 (100 Euro) more over here. Those are very nice, used on the Viper ACR's.

it all depends on how strict your emissions laws are there. It all sounds good, i had the H&R springs on my 95 and they were too stiff plus i didnt like the rake in ride height from front to back. From what i understand the Eibach springs are great. Are you going with a short tube header or a long tube header?

The crane 14 is more than likely going to turn the check engine light on for being too rich at idle. People usually install an safc to lean the fuel trim out at idle.
