Default Which coil over?

So I just drove my buddies Saleen extreme and for one it was stupid fast but he had full coil overs and it handled awesome. So i want to start upgrading my suspension. Which coilovers do you guys like? What else can I get to make my suspension better? Thanks

A good set of sway bars, I would ask in the handling section. I have heard good things about H&R and BC Racing. Depends on what you want and how much adjustability you want.

you don't have to get coilovers unless you want the adjustability. a good spring /strut /shock setup will achieve similar results.

it depends on how wild you want to go .. is this for a daily driver? track car? are you willing to sacrifice comfort for performance?

bushings, sway bars, sway bar end links, coils or springs/struts/shocks, control arms etc.. all good things to consider. you could always call sam stranos for some professional advice

I went with Progress Technologies for my coil-over system. Good for track and aggressive street driving, but gave up comfort. Now considering going to H&R Street Performance. Other things I did were: Roush sway bars, adjustable trailing control arms, Steeda 3-point frame brace, FRPP front lower control arms, FRPP strut tower inserts, Roush strut tower brace, Steeda balljoints, FRPP front control arm brace and replaced the motor mounts.

Is the ride really that bad? How much did they set you back?

Adjustable sway bars, check with Sam, struts and shocks (koni) Strut mounts(GT500) lowering springs, lower control arms and relocation brackets, che brace with torque limiters, and strut brace as well.

I'd like to check out your car I know you've done tons of mods since I last saw it.
