Suspension Recommendations
#16
I just removed my Eibach Pros and stock dampers. They were nice as they had a sporty feel and were not harsh at all.
Mine now has Bilstein HD's and RS springs... much more stiff but not bone jarring... LOVE THEM! (oh... and it is LOW too)

Thank you all for your comments and suggestions.
Before I do anything else... anyone moving up to JIC or Motons that want to get rid of what they have?
And to see if I got this right... the recommendation is to go with:
Bilstein shocks (hd's) - US$679.00 and H&R springs - US$324.00
Correct?

You can adjust ride height with the shocks since they are threaded. But to save money you could go with the stock springs and see how you like it. If you decide to switch springs later it will only cost you an extra alignment (and your time).

Burning Brakes
i started out with the H&R greens and bilsteins and ended up changing out the front springs to 180 lb/inch hyperco springs in front. also increased the rebound damping about 20%. my front end isn't nearly so bouncy now. i later found that these rates are very close to the 030 996 suspension as published in excellence. for some reason both H&R and eibach use spring rates that are unbalanced where the front is too stiff compared to the rear IMO.
