Coilover struts and shocks

Anyone have some suggestions for the coilover over front struts and rear shocks. The front coilover kit is 12/250 and I have the car lowered at least a 1 1/2 in the front and they have eibach pro kit springs in the back. Should I be using fox body struts or sn95 struts with both the front and rear? I'm looking for something comfy and sporty. Any suggestions? Thanks

I used to run 350# on my CO's up front, but were certainly on the softer side. I would think that a 250# may be a bit too soft for anything as aggressive such as AX, but would be comfy for DD use. I currently run 200# CO's in back and certainly VERY soft compared to my current SLA's of around 700# up front. I believe my coils are 10", but cannot say for sure and on Koni Yellows.

Head over to my Official Suspension Guide (in sig) and may be of some help.
