Default LG - G2 Super Springs....what shocks for best street driving/handling....

I've got Hals all around now with the G2 Super Springs......what shocks will handle better than the Hals for street driving. No road course stuff or drag race launches......100% street car.

Thanks.

G2 rates on the springrates page say 548 front rates and 180-230 rear. Rears sound pretty high.

Question... do you want to control the springs well.. or not? At this point this has nothing to do with what application driving you are in whether it be street, autox, drag, road race, picking up the kids from school... you have a set of 548/180-230 springs wihth a 1.5 inch drop. Those are more firm and have less travel. They are what they are. If you want to control the springs, you probably want konis or some other better quality shock that's probably more expensive. If you don't want them controlled very well, there's many other options out there

Do a search.

Koni SA 4/3 or 4/4 is what you want - worth the extra coin IMO.

Not sure what you mean by "control" the springs. If you mean not allow them to expand (bounce) upward as much and have a stiffer ride, I guess thats what I want.

I was just told that Hals really aren't meant for handling, so I simply want a better handling car.

I'll search and read about them.

Where's the best place to buy them, I want something new now.

How much for all 4 corners?

4/3

http://www.stranoparts.com/partdetai...D=21&ModelID=8

4/4

http://www.stranoparts.com/partdetai...D=21&ModelID=8

The difference in the adjustment of the rear shock. The 4/4 is on car adjustable and the 4/3 is off car adjustable.

I highly suggest you call up sam strano and actually talk with him about it. His customer support and advice are top notch!
