What springs for Koni shocks?

I have Konis on all fours woo hoo. Looks like it lowerd my car an inch and a 1/4... My question is. What shocks should I buy for these to lower the car another inch but not make the ride to harsh? Thats why im not looking torwards RB's. I had them on my N/A and they were to hard.

Try the eibach pro kit. They are progressive rate and will give you a close to stock ride around town and stiffen up around the turns. They should lower the car about 3/4" if I remeber correctly. If you plan on autox or any other type of racing I would stay away from these because the transition between the two rates will throw off your car's balance on a track.

If you lower your car that much you will have major camber problems. You will have to buy front camber plates and a rear camber link to fix the problem. That is unless you like buying new tires every 10k miles.

My car with stock springs felt pretty mushy with the Koni's. I would recommend something a bit stiffer to get more use of the koni's.
