Which shocks and struts to get ? Blisten, koni, hal.
I was checking some old posts out and im not sure. I think i want to get the koni yellows since i have a lowered car with sportlines and i plan to autocross the car a few times this year . I want the car to handle really well. RIght now with the stock sway bars and i dont know about the stocks and struts it seems like the rear end wants to come around pretty easily.But i think the koni yellows are the best . i need some help. thanks guys .

if your going to do auto-x then yes i would say get the koni yellows i went through this decision about a month ago. I ended up getting the bilstein's becuase i'm not going to do auto-x, just a daily driver with a few trips to the strip to see what it can do. But from what i read koni is the best handling shocks and struts you can get you just wont get anykind of weight transfer for stight line racing.
cool, im willing to sacrific some straight line performance for the handleing. It always impressive to go into a corner with someone who doesnt think you will make the corner , and then make the corner , and be like, i coulda gone faster.

yea if you want to corner then koni yellows are the ones you want, but just to let you know hear the ride can be pretty harsh, but if your like me ride doesnt realy matter performance does.

yea bilsteins are the ones i went with can't tell you yet how they are they are going on as we speak, but after i pulled out the old stock ones wow what a difference between the two. After i put these on i'll prolly be wondering how i ever drove on the old ones. Good luck in your decision. Also take a look at shox.com they seem to have good deals.
