Looking to replace my tokico's with something else. Which aftermarket damper do you guys recommend with the H&R Springs? Also, does anyone know the spring rate on these? Thanks.

If you don't want to deal with adjustability, get stock R1 shocks or Bilsteins. If you want adjustability, get some Koni Sports (yellow).

dont get progressive springs...i wasted my money on a set...i wish i didnt!!

theres no real way to find the rate on a progressive spring...
but the H&R stuff is pretty good, Its not race handeling or anything, but it will give you a good ride with good handeling. Any good shock will be fine. cant go wrong with the konis sport shock.

I'm running a set of Koni yellows with H&R springs and so far really like them!!!

If you're looking to open track your car, the H&R springs will be fine. Depending on your level of driver skill and aggressiveness, decide on what spring rates best suit you. If you're a relative newbie, just use the standard kit spring rate and decide for yourself. Auto-x, do not get progressive springs. The quick transitions and tight turns in auto-x do not suit progressive springs; you're better off with linear springs ... ala Racing Beat and coilovers/coilover kits.

If you're just trying to improve the ride quality of the car, I would suggest going back to stock shocks. But, I've heard that a well-matched, stiffly sprung setup can be just as comfortable ride-wise. Many forum users have praised the JIC FLT-A2's ride quality ... then again, coilovers ain't cheap. I would recommend against the Koni Yellows, if ride quality is your goal. I have them and I think they're a bit rougher than the Tokico's.

Hey, Stephen, could you post a write up on ride quality and handling differences between the H&R/Koni combo and the stock set-up?

Thanks,
