RE: shocks struts and springs
me and my friend just did his, at 1.75 from stock he will need c/c because his caster is off by like 3*.
id suggest for you HR springs or steeda and strange 5 way adjustable, from what ive seen personally its a great combo over stock and friend only paid 600 for everything or you could always get bullitt kit but i think for a few bucks more a true aftermarket would be in your better interest.
BTW im assuming you doing this for an all around car not drag speific otherwise check out more tech articles or if you want some extreme suspension tokico D spec w/ steeda comp springs and5 link will keep you happy for a long time.

www.50resto.com has a package that has the KYB shocks and struts w/ Steeda springs for around $450 i believe. Nice drop and I got the steeda cc plates to go along with the package.

IMO other than price there is no reason not to get adjustable shocks/struts.. it makes a huge difference on the car as it can be setup for strip/crusing and handling with the same strut/shock combo.
www.modularpowerhouse.com has the 10 way strange adjustables, gonna run you a bit over 300 bucks for all 4.

RE: shocks struts and springs
For something geared more towards an all around DD with more of a road race than drag influence, would you guys reccomend something like the 10-ways or the Bilsteins..? Since I'm ready to buy Bilsteins the price isn't really an option lol, I just wan't whatever will work best.
