I rebuilt my suspension, KYB GR-2, cheap on ebay. All OEM hardware, not too bad, Tein H Spec springs (1.2 and 1 inch drop rear). Incredible ride, no bottoming out, no scraping, no bouncing, hugs the road, not too stiff. I can't be happier.

Make sure that the Tein springs are the same free length as the springs for 1996-97. Turns out the stock spring length for 94-95 is shorter than for 96-97. The Konis use the incorrect perch settings (ie, for the 96-97 springs). So, make sure that the Teins also are designed for the incorrect spring length. FWIW, Koni set me a free set of yellows to resolve this very problem when I bought my shocks some years ago.
