Shocks.....

I have H&R springs for my car already. I was gonna install them and do shocks later but think it'll be easier if i just change it out all at once. My question is, for those of you that have changed your shocks, what brand did u go with and how do you like the ride and performance of them. For those of you in the bay area could u also let me know where you bought them and had them installed. Thanks for your help!!!

When I put H&R's on my older Porsche, the Bilstien Sports where about as good a match as I can imagine. No over or under damping. I really liked them a lot.

Just about a week ago I put a full set of Bilstien Sports on my W208. It has stock springs. The ride is still very nice.

What the real question is.... what are you looking for out of your car/suspension? There are always trade-offs. What is acceptable and unacceptable for your proposes?

just looking to close the gap in the wheel well and have a little stiffer ride. Don;t want to stiff or too low cause the roads out here suck!!!

That should do the trick very nicely. Let me know how you like the H&R's and how much it drops the car. I'm thinking of getting a set myself.
