Default RE: suspension

for the '02's i believe u have to trim off some of the original spring seat from w/e shocks u choose. not that big of a deal but u wont be able to use regular springs once u trim the seat. if u get the GC's, be sure to specify what kind of shocks u'll be using(oem, tokico, koni, etc..). if u get theGC's are at their standard rates, then ya it'll be a nice ride. i believe the sleeves on the GC's can go downabout 2.5" which is probably plenty. the lower u go, the less shock travel which makes for a more harsh ride and also have to worry about rubbing, potholes, speedbumps, etc...the camber kits for the '01+ are incorporated within the tophat. makes adjusting camber very fast and easy. u'll have to buy the aftermarket tophats for the fronts. im not sure how the rear is adjusted for the '01+, something to look into.

and no, u dont need strut bars, but they do help a little with handling.
