Default what is the best suspension set up for 4th gens? 4doorH22? 2point6?

whats the best suspension setup for 4th gens for say road course situations with some city driving?

i was thinking of getting some eibach springs and sway bars and probably keeping the current shocks/struts (if they are still good)

p.s. i prefer to be able to get over speed bumps

umm obviously keeping stock shocks will not be the best, so Im guessing you are just saying that for economical reasons? Well I have koni yellows, and I would have to say they are the best unless of course you were to go with a true coilover set-up, which would be better. Also right now I have sprint springs. not very impressive, but not bad either. I'm probably going to get ground control coil-overs.

It all depends on how much you want to spend too. There's so many combinations and choices for suspension it all comes to how much loot you want to dish out

I have enjoyed my suspension and have gotten a lot of compliments from my instructors about how well my car handled. Kyb agx shocks full stiff, GC with out of the box spring rates, lowered ~2in. and either both ST sway bars or the rear one with the stock front bar. I just ordered a 4pt autopower roll bar, and hopefully that will get here before VIR north in a month. I also have prothane bushings in the front suspension, and I really need to get the rear ones done.

stock shocks? why dont you just cut the springs while you're at it?
honestly, if you're concerned about price, dont ask what's the best. . . . but in my opinion, truechoice would be the way to go. if you really intend to roadrace, you wont want an out-of-the box setup. CALL truechoice and talk to them. CALL groundcontrol and talk to them too. they will be very very very helpful! get BOTH s/t sway bars, and the bushings are a great idea as well. dont forget adjustable camber.
on another hand, if you're not made out of money, i run koni yellows, neuspeed sports, k-mac camber kits up front and ingalls rear, and falken azenis'. with this setup i've been on and off with a new cobra as the leader in street mod here. . . .
