Default Shock / Springs - NOT LOWERING

I've got a steep driveway and will not be lowering the car (see current suspension mods - fixed pan hard/LCA's).

What shock / spring kits do you recommend to maintain stock ride height but improve handling?

The overall goals for my car are mid to high 12's and fun when the road tightens up.

I have asked this before, as I too don't want to lower. I got a couple of different answers. As far as the springs, the stock should be fine. I have looked around, and I don't even think they make an aftermarket spring that retains the stock height.

For the shocks and struts. bilstien seemed to be the the main answer for stock height and then Tokico D-Specs are still good. I still haven't splurged as I don't have that kind of money or I see other things I want.

Just stick with the stock springs and change the shocks to D-Specs.

BTW the Roush springs only lower 3/4" (about the width of an index finger) but the ride and handling is much more controlled. I doubt you'd have any driveway issues unless you're scraping already.

You can install adjutable sway bars front and rear.. Check with Eibach,FRPP and Steeda.The larger sway bars install really helps.
