Default spring and shock combo package?? opinions on brand!

alright, after MULTIPLE people telling me what their setup on their cars are, i finally have narrowed it down to gettin spring/shock package. now the question is... what name should i get!!!!!! h&r sounds good but i've heard that their cars bottom out constantly. and im not looking for that at all.. looking for a drop that eliminates the wheel well but DO NOT want my car slammed! also, firm feel and better handling. any suggestions is greatly appreciated!!! i dont oblige to websites also!! thanx ppl..

<U>i would give you my .02, but i need it.. </U>

5th gen-Mine has Neuspeed SPort/Koni "yellow". Add to that a Neuspeed Front upper tower bar/Spoon rear tower bar and finally a Neuspeed Rear Sway Bar (25mm). Rides great and looks good too.

the wheel gaps on the 4th gen are way bigger then the 5th gen....those neuspeed sports are probably not good enough for u...the h&r's only bottom out if your shocks are blown or u have really crappy shocks...i got the h&r's on my 92 lude and they are fine...getting the teins soon though! I say u save for the teins!

If u can't afford the teins go with the koni yellow and h&r race.. not sport springs, that will give u the small gap and nice ride u are looking for, they are not too harsh at all!

go with Ground Control Coilovers and KYB adjustables. This gives you full adjustability, and both are relatively cheap. I have the coilovers KYB's are next on my list. your car will handle like velcro w/these.

don't go kyb if you plan on going lower then 1.5"...which on the 4th gen the ideal lowering i think is 2"...supposedly they tend to leak after about 1 year sometimes even sooner...so if you want your shocks to last DON'T get KYB
