if it were me no because the 200 dollar springs are porbebly just as good as the 450 springs I am getting sprint springs have u looked into those.

Main difference:
GR2 = non-adjustable
AGX = adjustable

I guess it depends on your use, and how much money you have to blow.

i've had the gr2's on my accord w/ some no name springs... but i loved the ride and the feel of the vehicle.... it stuck to the road and still provided a smooth and comfortable ride

Since this is becoming a rapidly approaching issue to me...

Sway bar... You can put a replacement on? or?

Im probably going to get GR2's when the time comes...

Yup...they use to sell sway bars on pfyc.com i dont know if they still do but you get one for the front and/or rear....but if im not mistaken most people do the rears because it makes the biggest difference and is easier to change

Ah strut bars.

I thought you meant the actual sway bars.

Those look nice too, but I know my Alero isnt a race car... lol

AGX on my Bu and wouldn't go back. Turn em down for soft and up for track action.

Improved Sway Bars were made for this platform but are no longer available due to a lack of demand/understanding - too bad for you.

Strut Bars are nice but not the same at all - still worth having.

no he meant sway bars, and yes they get replaced with a thicker performance orientated unit.

I believe the AGXs handle drops a little better, but either one will provide excellent handling (dropped or not).

So what's the difference between sway bars and strut bars? I've seen the ones that stretch across the top and bottom of the struts, but I'm not sure which one is which.

strut tower braces = top
swaybars = bottom
