How is that a stupid question? Gotta start from somewhere right? Now is see. 84 results of the same question. So 84 stupid people posted the same stupid question.If 84 results came back maybe it was a good questionl.Sorry buddy I am not a suspension specialist.

There are posts about what springs people should get? Why dont you go on those posts and call them stupid questions. I thought this is what the forums were for. Asking questions of people who have experience and more knowlege bout the subject. I dont think asking what eibach prokit would be good with a certain set of shocks is a stupid question. Some people just dont know and want some advise current advise.

I just so happened to catch that postbefore the edit. You remember, backwhenit read
No matter. It was applicable to the tone of the thread, and when you develop a wider vision of things you'll understand. Use it or don't, just like any of the on-topic tech, mine or anybody else's. Your choice.

Now here's something more, although I have to apologize for it not being quite up to the "Life Lesson #" level. The first time a specific technical question is asked, it's not going to be considered 'stupid'. Maybe not the second, or third, or tenth time. Or even the 20th time ifthere's something new in the question. But after a while it does get old answering the same question. How many times would you answer a newbie-to-supercharging question about which pulley diameter is best before your patience ran a bit thin? 5? 10? 25? 85? Dare I even mention exhaust sound topics?

Anyway, that's why we have 'stickies'. Speaking of which, there's a huge sticky that contains a lot of suspension information, particularly the contributions from F1Fan.

On edit (and I'm only adding content), try to imagine different ways that what you ask could be answered. Not just the way you're hoping for. (LL#2.5 if you think hard enough about it)

Sam Strano has posted his comparative experiences with shocks/struts at least a couple of times, including once that I know of within the last few days so it probably hasn't even fallen off the first page yet (but a search of his posts would turn it up pretty easily even if it had). Trust me when I tell you that his opinion is worth more than what you'd get from a thousand fanboi "[insert brand name here] FTW" replies put together. I may get sarcastic at times and I don't particularly like being told to cease responding to topics (yes, I edited here a little), but I won't lie to you.

As far as sourcing all the suspension parts from the same company being the best possible approach (the question that nobody has tackled yet), that's not necessarily true even though it's probably the simplest. I think it's less likely to be true in the case of spring/shock/strut kits promoted mostly on appearance factors than it is for, say,spring/sta-bar kits, if only because shock/strut tuning and quality can vary so widely. (Even with the spring/bar kits it's really best only if your driving reasonably matches that of whoever the company was targeting as the ideal customer.) Is a packaged kit good enough? Maybe. All depends on what you want to get out of it.


Still trying to help. Really.
