Default What Shocks????

I have a 94 gt, and i am trying to set up the suspension for a somewhat street/track setup. i have installed the eibach pro spring but i am unsure of what shock and sway bar setup to run. Let me know what you think and if you have any other suspension ideas that you have used and have worked out great for you let me know. thanks

I called Maximum Motorsports tech line and they were very helpfull. I started my suspension upgrade with shocks, springs, c/c plates, LCA's, and subframes. Suspension pics are in my scrapbook.

I really like my Bilstein shocks/struts.

MM recommended staying with the stock sway bar until I race enough to know whether I need stiffer or not

bilsteins -- http://www.americanmuscle.com/bilste...age-94-04.html

just installed these, and I'm very happy with the result (also did Eibach prokit springs at the same time ...)

Tokico illuminas 5 way adjustables or strange 10 ways adjustables ...both cheaper than the non-adjustable bilsteins, and they're adjustable!

I started with Eibach springs, but the conversion to coil-over.... OMG!!! I love my suspension!
