Go with Koni adjustables on the front and back and use Strano springs or Eibach. The car will handle very well on the street and around the turns.

I tried Edels IAS shocks and I like'em...alot. It was either them or Stranos Bilsteins. I'll try his next time. I heard the SLP Bilsteins are good too.

if you don't want to lower the car...or not much...Koni's are a GREAT upgrade.

even on stock springs they will drastically improve handling. and if you do the lower perch and heater hose mod...you'll drop about 1/2" in height.

but if you DO want to lower the car....strano springs or BMR springs are good sets, and then mated with Koni shocks all around

Why do people make threads in random sections?
