Good shocks/springs?
Looking to upgrade my shocks/spring on m;y T/A. Time to get rid of the KYB replacements and cut stock springs. Looking for reccomendations on shocks/springs. I've been thinking about a set of the Koni yellows and a set of H&R springs. What do you think?

Bilsteins aren't exactly cheap either. I'd like to get a set of them or the Konis, depending on what I can find a good price on.

thanks a lot for the input but will the koni yellows give me good traction for draging, cause i want to be able to put the power from the 406 that i'm planning on put in next summer to the ground. I want the best shocks/struts that will give me decent cornering a good stright line performance. Thanks a lot for any inputs you have.

then no, the yellow's will probably be to stiff. i bought the tokico illimuna 5 way adj., got a good deal, 400 new of off ebay, have not been able to drive the car with them though as i am in the middle of the restoration. a lot of people that have them like them, they can be soft for drag or hard as hell for the twisties.
thanks
