good daily driver suspension??
I drive my 92 VX everyday. And now thats its making 200 WHP from a b18 Im finding it hard to get take-off traction since i still got stock suspension. NOw I hate rough bumpy rides. And I love the way the stock suspension feels. Can anyone make a suggestion? I was thinking maybe just sgeting stiff shocks like tokico blues for the back only, and keeping stock shocks in the front, and just geting some coilovers to lower it a little bit, maybe one inch. Any ideas?

Whatever suspension you get, you WILL have traction issues. Main way to decrease traction issues is by installing a traction bar. Plus, having upgraded suspension on the rear and stock up front will PROBABLY make your car feel like ****, no matter that type of driving.

Depends on your definition of "handled well". Blues are cushy shocks. Barely better than stock (if any). Cut springs are a horrible idea, and while it may have been acceptable to you while you were in the car with him, I guarantee that suspension would not come anywhere close to holding it's own doing anything other than the daily commute. I refuse to get in a car with cut springs. Who knows who cut them, and I feel they are unsafe.

OF course. Hell, why not just go with 18k up front and 20k in the rear? That'd be sweet!
