Default what suspension setup for a em1

I just bought my em1 and now it's time for a suspension upgrade, i've been told a lot of good things about the koni + gc setup... I don't know too much about suspension, so forgive me on that.

I just want to know what to put it on before i slam it, thanks.

for the gc setup if you want slammed i would go with the shorter gc springs all around i think it's 6in. Depending on where u buy it from u can also chose what spring rates you have. on my car i have 450fr and 350r.

from some posts that iv'e seen people advised 550fr and 350 for riding slammed. Wish i would have known this. My oil pan and header are full of deep scratches. Also get the ground control that are koni specific.
