Default whats the best type of suspension?

hey guys, i'm new to the h-t scene and i wanna get new suspension for my 4dr. the suspension setup i have now is wayyyyy to bumpy for me and its way to low, the front wheels rub when making slow turns. my setup is stock struts on coilovers? i'm not 100% sure my friend told me what it was but i forgot. what would be the best suspension to raise it just a bit and stiffin it up??

it all depends on what you`re gonna use the car for. for the most part, people will tell you to go Ground Control/ Koni. it's all up to you what rates you want, whether it be for daily driving or track or whatever.

Too low? Most want it "slammed".

If the car is for street driving only a good set would be Tokico Illuminas and Neuspeed sports or H&R sports. But how low do you want the car or how low is it now and how much higher do you want it.

If you're a bit more serious about the car and want a very good suspension for a pretty reasonable cost a set of Koni yellows and Ground control coilovers (suprise suprise) is a good way to go.

If you want to run it slammed, you are going to need to get some stiffer springs, around 450#-550#, for a still somewhat comfy ride, in order to preserve the life of your shocks so they don't blow and start too get real bouncy.
