Default What Shocks after lowering?

I have the Eibach Prokit on my ride and it's time to change out the shocks to smooth out the ride. What shocks do you guys use? I was thinking about strange adjustables, I do 90% freeway driving, 5% roads and 5% track.

Suggestions?

Thanks,

E.

I just lowered about 2" with H&R supersports and used the Strange 10 way adjustables. I set them all at level 5 after install. When I took small bumps it was kinda bouncy but firm, today I set them all at level 3 since right now its my Daily driver and the ride is alot more like stock now. I havent really played around with all the other levels but can really tell the difference when I changed it 2 levels. Im happy with them. One thing that bothers me is the noise they make over bumbs, kind of like a rattle noise, to my understanding its the shocks and struts because everything is tight and I even got the car aligned, btw I used Stangsuspension CC plates.

Not to hijack, but Pitt, how do you like your HR supersports. I have my bilstein shocks/struts, MM c/c plates but I'm still waiting for my springs? Do you have any pics of it lowered? I was going to go with Strange but then I kept hearing that HR springs and Bilsteins went really well together and I don't do any track or racing at all.

awesome - just got my tokico blues and spring kit today from Ebay $369 shipped. If you are not going to the track all the time I don't think you need the adjustables.

Unless you're a hardcore track guy, you'll be fine with KYB or Monroe non-adjustables.
