Illuminas, KYBs, and Koni Yellows are all good choices....as far as springs, I have eibach sportlines that give a 1.8" drop and I dig em.....

bilsteins on eibach sportlines work really well for me. only complaint i have is that they've settled a bit unevenly. other than that they offer a firm, not plush but not jarring or bouncy, ride.

also i liked my previous setup which was kyb sr shocks (got them from japan so im not sure if there is a us equivalent) on rsr sport springs. again nice ride but good handling when you push it.

I got koni yellows and i love em. Im thinking about changing over to 89 accord bilsteins in the front though, for a smoother ride....

is there anybody out there running stock springs? i'm sort of building my crx for G-stock SCCA solo, and they specify staying with stock springs. anybody have any picks for a good shock (must not be externally adjustable) that goes with factory spring rates?

there is "too much to look through" b/c this topic has been covered over and over and over and... well you get the picture.

the search is there for a reason. the archives are there for a reason. use them!
