suspension setup

im looking to get my cars suspension settled up compared to my old stock shitty stuff..
i picked up a set of RB front springs for 50 bucks so im probably going to try those combined with another spring set in the rear, i do want it to be somewhat stiff to handle well but not be bone breaking to drive.

anyone have any links to preferred springs? shocks? strut inserts? anything helps

If you are putting RB in the front you should just put RB in the rear. The full set is only $200 and you can't buy rear only from RB. If you want a soft OEM style feel get the KYB shocks. If you want it more firm, but still streetable, the Tokico HP (blues) are an affordable upgrade while the Illuminas (white) are a little more pricey but allow you to fine tune the stiffness.

i really couldnt pass up the deal on the springs since they are brand new. but my plan is to buy any circle track springs with similar spring rate and call it good for the rears. but thanks on the suggestion for the struts/shocks
