Default Aftermarket Suspension Help

giveing me the best handling and better ride quality?
I've read that espiler/koni yellow or kg.mm.koni yellows are the way to go.
Any suggestions?

It all depend,on your budget.
Good springs/shock combo can do a decent job,for around $800.00 to $1000.00,or you can go all out on coilovers.
Beware of cheap coilovers,as they will degrade your handling,most of the time;exception is Billstein PSS9 at +/-$1200.00.

i dont think your gonna ur gonna find better handling with better ride quality, its a trade off, u get better handling from stiffer suspension but a harsher ride, my car feels like it barely has suspension but it handles great, u can find a medium but its hard to find the best of both worlds, i wish i could trade some handling for some ride quality bc my ride is harsh, jic magic flt a2 coilovers

IMHO coilovers are the way to go. I have JIC coilovers and love them.

I have the PSS9's and I'm very impressed with them especially on the track.

I'm against the wall trying to decide on a setup myself. It's either going to be H&R Coil-Overs, Ground Control/Eibach/Koni Yellow or arghhh just those two....

I'm too impacient for the PSS9's. I herd they won't be around in abundance until May or so. If I wanted them now I would have to pay out the ears
