Default Shocks and Springs???

Whats a good combo to go with??
I want a combo thats great for road racing as well as drag racing.

I only want a 1" drop, if I don't have to lower it, thats fine as well!! But nothing lower than 1".

I was thinking blisten and eibach springs, kinda like the slp upgrade on the SS's. "Blisten package"

Please post prices as well if you have it, as well as websites!

Thanks,
Jason Smith

I've been thinking about the SLP parts also. The people at "TNA Motorsports" (can I say that here???) MAY be doing a GP on the setup sometime soon.

Keep an eye on the boards (both of them) GP section, something good may soon happen.

go with the ground control coil-over kit. then you can get exactly the amount of drop you want.

the QA1 is a coilover kit for the front and I do belive it lets you adjust the height as well as the tightness!!

Edit: It lets you adjust the height for the front!! Not the rear!! You can adjust the tightness and softness on the rear shock, not height!!
