if you do not care about lowering and your a performance person the eibach prokit/bilstein hd is a excellent combo. if you are one of those who likes to play with things you might find another.2 out of an adjustable koni yellow or bilstein 12 way. you could try qa1's 12 way strut/shock but the struts are shorter by almost 2".

Hey Kandied thanks for the reply.Just looking at my options right now.I been leaning toward AJE stuff.As far as springs are concerned Eibach was always the choose was going with their drag lanch but read on here someone said you have to be careful with them on the street.Didn't know Koni & Bilstein made adjustable shocks.Where came I find them?I knew QA1 made rears for our cars but not the front.Where can I get those and what would I have to do to make them work?Thanks again.

koni, bilstein and qa1 (hal) have always made adjustable units. the koni yellow setup is the more popular versions. bilstein makes them in billet at roughly $600 a piece where as the qa1 setup is slightly more affordable at $400 a piece. just call up your dealer and talk with them, the qa1 struts are the hardest to come by right now because of air ride and their patent.

good luck.
