[QUOTE="bobh, post: 263134, member: 1552"] There's tons of different setups possible... and different opinions. Mostly it depends on: Your usage. Street only or track also Your budget. Adjustable dampners usually cost quite a bit more. Springs don't vary that much in price. Your butt. How much firmness are you willing to put up with to get a flatter cornering car? Everyone is different. Everyone drives on different roads. Springs come in stock soft to race hard. They come in linear or progressive rates. Progressives are better for street only use. You won't feel every bump and tar strip as much. Shocks/struts. At the cheap end are the stock-replacement KYBs. Don't use these on a lowered car. They may not suck when new, but they will later when they give out quickly from the lowered suspension. KYB also makes an adjustable. Tokico makes good adjustables & non-adj. Koni's are considered the high-end brand. Bilsteins are self-adjusting. Talk to Max Motorsports, if you haven't already, and ask what they have for a street use only setup. btw, I use the KYB adjustables and Eibach Prokits on my '97. Non-adj Toks and Prokits on my '87. I go to a few track events every year. [/QUOTE]
