Default Thoughts on spring and new shock change.

Right now I have G2 Super Springs with the stock shocks. I've now grown tired of the horrible ride and every bump the car hits seems like the shock mounts are punching through the panels.

I'm thinking about changing to BMR springs with bilstein hd's. I don't want to switch to this setup and be in the same predicament as I am now. I've also thought about sticking with the G2 super springs and just getting the bilstein hd's and hoping that will make the ride a bit better.

Anyone have any opinions or advice as to what i should do.

Why don't you give Sam Strano a call and have him set you up with some revalved Bilstiens for your G2 springs and see if you're happy with the result? That way, you can just buy the shocks as opposed to buying shocks and springs to save you some cash. You might be happy with the ride after just replacing the shocks because I'm sure it's a real crappy ride right now.

I'd just save up and get some Koni's, or some revalved Bilsteins would at least be alot better than what you have now. You'll like the springs alot better once you have some decent shocks.

I have those springs combined with the Koni SA's. I have no issues whatsever and the car handles great. Your problem is shocks.
