Default best suspension options

i have a 94 ls, and right now it is just dropped on neuspeed spring and stock struts. i want to get a better suspension. i have been looking at skunk2 coilovers with tokico blues. my car is a daily driver, so i just want something that isnt going to bounce me around like crazy, but still be good if i were to race it or whatever. for the skunk2's and tokico's its about $500. thats about how much im looking to spend. give me your opinion. thanks

skunk2 w/ tokico blue would be nice or double your budget and get Sustec Pro S-OC. Same ride different height....................

I wouldn't waste my time or money on the tokico blues. Money is better spent on the Illuminas or KYB AGX. Now if you really have the money, do it right with GC w/ Koni yellows

And if you wanted to get coilovers, the Omnipowers are about $650.

Yeah I would go with the coilover option so if you need height adjustment, you don't have to get a diff set of springs.

I would highly recommend against stock struts and lowering springs. If its just a daily driver, then get some KYB AGX with Tein lowering springs and you'll be good to go.

omni power sounds like what you are looking for.

they are very similar to the setup you are already planning except with slightly more quality(since its a singular unit) and more adjustability.

i suggest taking a few more weeks to save the money to buy the omni's.

You could get the Tein Basics for cheaper then that. Or you can go ahead and get the Omnis. I heard they are good price and quality.

You could get a very nice setup with Koni Yellows on custom spring rated GC's to accomidate whatever you wanted to accomplish. Adj. ride height and ride stiffness. Also to get your handling as neutral as possible.

are the koni yellow's too harsh for daily driving on a bumpy road ? ... the GC's fit on the koni's or custom ?
