I went with Dinan Stage II and Bilstein HD's. Firm in the turns, but supple enough over the bumps. You could also do M5 springs. (Both Dinan and M5 springs will lower about .75") For me, H&Rs or Eibachs with Bilstein Sports was too firm, especially if you have 17" wheels.

YMMV.

Ride is important, but I do want performance on the street. Willing to sacrafice a little ride if the performance gain is worth it.

Thanks


I just got a set of 17 x 8 Cross Spoke Composite II's and now I am itching to do the suspension. Thoughts and/or recommendations? Looking to start with shocks/springs. I am also thinking maybe the LaJolla sway bars. Any experience pro's or cons on any combinations mentioned?


Thanks,
