Replacing suspention

Right now the ride is pretty harsh in my GTA. Also, there is a like a clunking squeaking sound that comes from the front end when I brake hard. I am thinking that is the front sway bar bushings that are bad. But I am going to get a Wonderbar, replace all the bushings on the sway bar, new endlinks, get a new set of ebach pro kit springs and new shocks and struts. what kind of shocks and struts do you guys recommend? I am looking for a better ride, without sacrificing performance. Suggestions?

Re: Replacing suspention

better ride and performance, if you think your ride is harsh on the stock suspension, you aren't going to want lowering springs or good shocks, because they will firm up the ride alot
