Default Help with suspenion setup on em1

I am currently running ground control/eibach adjustable coil overs on shitty KYB struts. The struts are complete **** and the springs are very worn. So i want to replace them with a new setup. What do you suggest? I was thinking koni yellow/ground control setup.

The Koni yellows w/ Ground Control is a very good setup. Stop asking questions and get them all ready. My buddy has this setup in his EM1, and thats what Im springing for now on my EM1.

Do you have pics of your car? I was wonderign what that CW color looks like on an EM1.

Dont get S2 C/O's... they are stiff as hell. I have heard that KYB AGX + H&R springs give a nice ride also. I just dont know if its the 4way or the 8way adj. struts.

Im running TEIN S Tech springs with stock struts. The ride is extremely smooth. Its not a expencive setup, but if your looking into coilovers I would go with TEIN. My boy ran TEIN coilovers on his 99' EX and they were a nice setup.
