Default C springs....prefferd shock?

Has anyone found a good shock compatable witht the FRP C springs? All I have right now is the C springs and with the stock shocks the ride sucks....

you'll want something you can get a fairly aggressive rate on.

tokico illuminas, MM HD spec bilsteins (or 03-04 cobra bilsteins up front), koni SA are all good options. I prefer bilsteins myself. They ride great and there's no adjustment BS to deal with.

no I have coil over now. I've had C's at one time. The ride on C's will always be ... lively to say the least. Better shocks/struts will just calm down the ride and make it handle properly. Stock shocks can't properly dampen such high rates which is why you're hating life so far.

if you just want a simple answer.. Tokico Illumina's on setting 3 should be plenty .
