Eibach Pro-kit w/ Tokico shocks/struts on my GT. It handles great and isn't too stiff of a ride.

H&R Sport springs w/ Tokico shocks/struts on the Mach. It also handles great but I did ended up having MM C/C plates installed and I can feel every bump in the road, very stiff. Also, it handled alot better cornering when I had the GY GSD3s tires on it instead of the BFG KDW IIs. I honestly truly dislike the BFGs and I can't wait to wear them out and replace them and I don't recomment them to anyone.

I also installed the Eibach Pro Kit and I also added the Maximum Motorsports Caster/Camber Plates. I feel the bumps and the cracks in the road. But then again PA is not know for having good roads. But it feels very responsive on the curves. Go for it.

the spherical bushing on MM plates transmits a lot more noise than some other brands but they're the best and worth it. the price you pay to play.

As for spring and shock recommendations I'm a little hurt that nobody has asked what you expect from the car. Do you plan on drag, mild street, hot street, open track? How are the roads in your area? Any other mods done to the car? How much are you looking to spend?

For most guys H&R sports or FRPP B springs and tokico hp's are enough but some want lower or stiffer or whatever, so plz make with the info.

Oh yeah... and moved to the suspension forum in General Tech.
