yes , I have the AA suspension that doesnt seem to do anything. My shocks appear to be worn from the bounce I get when I push on the back of car.

what will I need to other than remove the AA motors and get the new shocks/struts?

I searched!

BTW_ I dont have a bunch of money- just want to replace the stuff for daily driving car.

Thats all you need to do. But you CAN do alot more

If the drop is big enough you will most likely have some camber, so a rear camber adjuster and front camber plates are a good idea. But if this is just a daily driver and you dont know much about suspension your probably not going for a big drop anyway.

Heres a list of the suspension mods ive done to my car...definetly not needed though
RacingBeat Front and rear sway bare
eibach springs
koni front adjustable shocks
tokiko rear shocks
all new energy suspension bushings including rear toe eliminator

ordering b4 spring
front camber plates, rear camber adjuster, sway bar endlinks, and maybe some strut bars

I would suggest

Tokico HP or Illumina
Tein or Cusco Uppermounts
RSR Race or Downsprings
AWR independent REar Camber adjusters

I have a GXL also and you just have to remove the motors. Real simple. Let me know if I can help. We should have all these items in stock.

Thanks, Rishie
