Tricking Out My Suspension
I have already have H&R red springs now i need to find good shocks to mate them with? I'm looking for good ride quality i dont want to GET MY JAW KICKED OUT WHEN HITTING A POT HOLE AT 120.
i'm putting this togather slowly , i have brand spanking new 18" konig rims (boxed)
I solid brace bar for the front of the car
Dose the 4th gen have a back brace bar ?
I dont want to go coilover cause its too expansive
What shocks would u recomand , after all the car is going to be lower 1" to 1.5" drop so these things have to hold up.
any other suspansion tip out there?
And whats the difference that i'm going to feel comming from total stock set up with 15" wheels?
Thanks for the HELP

You get what you pay for. I've got Koni adjustables, but they're not cheap. It was like a new car compared with the stock shocks. You can keep it soft or firm it up for how you drive. Soft settings will bottom out on big dips in the road. I also got a camber kit for the front, but I couldn't set the camber to 1 degree negative like I wanted. The car launches better with better traction at 0 camber, but it doesn't corner as fast as before the camber kit when it had 1.9 degrees negative camber.

Which springs(rates if you know them), how much of a drop, and how long have you had the shocks?

As far as braces go the Neuspeed is highly liked for the front and yes there are bothe rear upper and rear lower tie bar.DC makes both which i have.The DC's are OK not great but do help.
Also you could look into Sway Bars both Neuspeed and Suspension Techniques make some for the 4th gen.
Polyurethane bushings are also helpful but either expensive or very time consuming to install.
