What are your objectives? What are your priorities? What are the roads like? Daily driver or weekend car?

We need more information to make intelligent suggestions. Include lots of details, like wheel and tire size and anything else thats relevant.

Yep, whether its good or not depends on what the car is used for, and how stiff you can tolerate the ride.

I looked into suspension info extensively over the past few months. After a lot of research I finally decided on Koni yellows with racing beat springs and racing beat front and rear sway bars was most appropriate for my application (autocrossing and limited street racing). To be honest, I have not had time to install anything yet but I can say the quality is top notch. All the info I found indicated this package was excellent.

Sry to king of thread jack, but it kind of relates to the subj.

If you throw some RB performance lowering springs on some kyb agx gas shocks in a n/a very how do you think that would affect the daily driver ride.

I run the kybs now at 6/3 for a daily driver and crank them up every now and again, but I would like to see the wheels sit deeper in the well, and also get a little more stiff ness to it. So if I threw on the springs and cranked it down to 4/3 or something is this still a smoth enough ride for the daily driver?

Thanks
Tad
