I'm using KYB AGX, but Koni Yellows would be the best. Tokico Illumina's also work.

Some shocks that will be adjustable. Race springs need that because they lower your car so low, so you will need to adjust your shocks sometimes to different roads.

tokico blues too stiff? damn what a wusse

i have kyb agx's on my h&r sport springs. on the softest setting they're just right for street. a very decent balance between absorbing bounce and cornering smoothly. on the next setting they're pretty sporty and a bit stiff for street.

based on my experiences. they should be able to handle race springs just fine imo. on the warranty it specifies how low you can be without voiding the lifetime garuntee, i think its about an inch or so can't recall off the top of my head

o yea and get an allignment after you get them in

Had tokico blues with h&r race springs before on a coupe. I was very happy with them, and they are inexpensive. People say they are very similar to stock blah blah blah, but I liked them a lot. Used them about a year and never had an issue with them breaking.
