Need some recommendations for shocks on my Del Sol.
Not looking for race performance as i am daily comfort performance.
Smoother the car rides the better. Currently on stock
springs and suspension. Planning on swapping out
control arms and springs a little down the road as well.
Anything to help absorb the road. I can't lower the car as I
often put way to much weight in the car with tools and parts.
Thanks for the opinions guys!

 

Bilstein HD shocks are likely your best bet. Cost effective and they work well with stock springs. Should be about $450-500.

If you can handle a 1" drop, Tein street basis coilovers are about the same price. The spring rates are a bit higher than stock..so adding extra weight shouldn't be an issue.

Either choice will ride as good...or better than stock.

 

if all you're after is oem ride height and a smoother ride, start replacing bushings, etc. monroe sells a product called "quick strut", which comes with a new strut, tophat, bump stop, and spring already installed. just start replacing worn parts.
