Default comfortable front street shocks

i need a pair of front shocks for my TA that will probably never see the track. i would like a set that arnt very aggresive and give more of a comfortable ride since this will be my dd for at least the next two years and i already have a weakend warrior car.

SEARCH!

How about the Blistein HD"s I heard they changed the valving so you might want to give sam a call about that.

There about 350 a set of 4.

I selected the SLP Bilsteins because they have a
softer bump damping and harder rebound, theory
being I had extra spring rate from the Hotchkiss
for the bump side. I find the fronts comfortable
enough. The backs, I ditched shortly after install,
too hard riding for my liking.

Had the same experience in the back. Bumps in curves would really throw the car out of whack. So what are you running now?
