I already own springs (eibach pro kit) and the most inexpensive website i've found for KYB GR-2 struts, shocks, and bearing plates is shockwarehouse.com. Itd cost me about 237 altogether for the struts and shocks, and another 80 or so for the top mount plates. Is there any place that is more cost efficient for what im looking for? Im also looking for poly-urethene bushings (cant find em anywhere). Ive seen tower bars and braces at mantapart.com. I dont know any other place i can purchase those and be sure of the quiality. (im trying to stay away from ebay lol)
Thanks for any who can help

never buy anything from mantapart.com
GM made a front strut tower brace for the 2nd gen cavaliers that will fit our cars. search on here for the part number, to see it, check out my cardomain page.
Energy Suspension sells a few poly bushings for our cars, they have their own ebay store, and then their website.
cant really help on the strut/shock stuff though.

i just kept my patience and found the springs for 125 shipped on AEDCentral and got everything else from my buddy that works at advanced auto parts. and i spent maybe 250 on all of my stuff. but if you want all of it right now than i don't think all the stuff you found is a bad deal at all.

if you arent a patient person, then mantapart isnt for you, i know people that have ordered stuff and still have gotten it over a year later. There are alot of people who are still owed parts from them. So if you want to order from them go for it, but dont say i didnt warn you.
