whats your budget for shocks?
do you want stiffness adjustability?
is the car gonna be seeing any track use at all?

koni's are expensive, cuz they're good sh!t
but if you think they're a lil too excessive for your needs, some more reasonable ones are eibach pro damper, kyb gr-2 OR agx, tokico blues.

i have close to the same question. i already have a body kit so i really dont want lowering springs but my suspension is 170k old and i def would like a smoother ride. i read on tokico that there is no difference between illuminas and oem besides that they are adjustable. i mostly just want to ride smooth but if im replacing the shocks then i might as well upgrade. but not any serious cash. no coilovers or anything
and when you get your new suspension will you sell me your old crap if it has less then around 80k
these guys are both looking for a smooth ride but if im just looking for aggressive performance what do you think my best choice would be?

Just curious, but what Tein springs did you get? I had H Techs way back and they were really mediocre as far as handling improvements. On the flip side, I love my H&R Sport springs and KYB GR2 shocks. I set a budget of $200 for that setup, and met it to a T
