I need to get new struts and i was wondering which brands you guys would recommend? Obviously theres many choices (koni, kyb, lakewood, tokico, bilstiens), so i need help chosing! My eventual suspension setup is going to be for street/strip, so let me know what ur thinkin! Thnx.. Also, should i just go all out and do shocks and subframes at the same time? I already have springs...

Depends on how far you want to go with suspension. If you eventually plan to do a K member and coil overs I would go with Koni's or Bilstiens. Both are great. If you want adjustability, get the yellows.

I am running the Tokico 5 way ajustable's, there great, you can ajust between a street friendly setting and a race setting. Ask Bill on here for his discount!

I have a pair of Koni Yellow adjustable rear shocks and a griggs single wide torque arm if you are interested

I have the Koni DA's. They are an awesome shock, but a bit hard to adjust. I was told they can be ran season after season, and dont really show any signs of wear. My car has the Griggs Auto X/Open Track- http://www.griggsracing.com/gr40autocross2.html

I'll be losing lots of money when I sell it. [Wink]
