Looking to upgrade whats the best combination of these two? And what are you currently running for these two?

 

Best is always subjective. That said, I'm running Moog IROC replacements and Koni Reds.

That is true guess the question i should really ask is what does everybody have and what have they had and how were they

 

what do you plan to do with the car? are you concerned with straight line performance or cornering?

 

Moog front and rear...and KYB AGX's to top it off (KYB's are sweet and cheap shocks/struts)

 

Itll be my daily driver but would like to be able to take a weekend out to a strip

 

I'd go with Moog springs and KYBs then. Not worth the money for Koni shocks if you're not serious about cornering. Do a search on the moog springs, there is a lot of info on them here..

 

Eibach Pro Kit and Koni reds.

im running the yellows and like the adjustible option, not sure if the red is adjustible or not.

eibach pro kit is great, the roads where i live suck big time and have no issues. if the pro kit is not low enough you can always remove the insulators and use a heater hose.

 

I'm running on cc635 rear springs which are IROC OEM replacement spring except they are from autozone but they are the same exact thing as the moogs only half the price. I have Gabriel HiJakcer air shocks in the rear filled to 60 psi to boost my car over my wide tires. I have Gabriel Ultra front struts and still have the stock front springs. The car has a little bit of body roll while turning because of the variable rate coils in the rear but I am really happy with how it rides.

 

i run KYB AGX + Eibach Pro-kit and they do the job for daily drive, goin' track/strip? just adjust shocks and you'r ready to race

best regards

 

I agree with this 100%. No sense in wasting money on pricier items for no reason.

 

if you love cornering pro-kit, koni yellows and good tires..... that would make a world of difference..

 

I have looked at allot of threads and for a Daily Driver and Ive decided to go with the Moog 5662 front springs with KYB GR-2 struts, and Moog 5665 rear springs with KYB Gas-A-Just rear shocks. Hoping to get a nice firm ride,with out breaking the bank.

 

Leaning towards this as they seem to have good reviews and have been suggested to me a few times let me know how it rides thanks

 

you might want to look at how high a car sits with those springs.... i had those same springs correctly indexed and i hated the look.. waaay too much fendergap.... so i went with the prokit and couldnt be happier

 

The moog springs need to be cut, you are looking at a minimum of 1/2 coil front 3/4 rear. The good news is you get a little more spring rate out of them that way.

 

I know this is not my thread but am hoping the OP dose not mind me asking questions. It seems that we both are working towards the same goal. It would be nice to see a car with the uncut Moog springs (side shot if possible)
Also do you need a alignment after replacing front struts ?
If not ,do you need a alignment when replacing front struts and springs ?

 

I have replaced struts and not done an alignment as long as the car was lined up correctly to begin with you'll likely be fine. In theory you could lower the car and not change the alignment(depending on how much you lower it), but I've not done that. You should at least have the toe checked after you lower it just to be sure. Double and tripple check your idler arm and center link for wear as these items seem to take the most abuse. If they are worn and need replaced you CERTAINLY need a re-alignment.
