my vote is for the summit suspension package. comes with, shocks, struts, CC plates, and springs for 680. you can swap the springs for whatever you want. but the way its set up is:

strange engineering shocks/struts
hotchkis CC plates
ford C springs


i boguht that kit but swapped the springs for the eibach drag launches. pretty much best suspension package ive seen put together for the price. if you price them individually you save like 13% buying it this way.
