1 1/2 front 1 rear is what ended up working best for me with the Koni Yellow/Steeda sports.

Thats awesome. I've been thinking about that set-up or steeds springs with d-specs. I think I might be leaning towards the konis

I have the Steeda Sport springs and stock shocks/struts. I am looking for shocks. The ride right now is way to hard.

Since I just have cervical spine surgery I just can't take the thrashing on Michigan roads. I gotta do something to make it ride better.

I was looking at the D-Specs but sound like you all have ahd really good luck with the Koni's.

I have to get somethign adjustabel so i can tweak the ride.

Anyone do springs before the shocks and struts and experience the same harsh ride? How is it now with better shocks and struts?

any advice would be appreciated. Sorry for the high-jack. OP - Love the look!!!

Ive heard the sports with Konis on full soft is like having stock suspension so I dont know if they would help. Give Sam a call at Strano performance, Im sure he can hook you up.

Full soft is better than stock for sure....I'm sure the springs help things as well though.

Gonna do the D-Specs. Waiting on final price from my Steeda Rep. Hopefully they can get installed ASAP along with a new tune.

Funny - I called and PM'ed Sam no response. I also called and stopped in at several local shops and no one has gotten back to me other than my Steeda Rep.

So I am staying loyal and getting them thru him, plus Steeda will do the installation.

Sam may be out racing, check his site and see if he has it listed as closed. Teh good thing about sam is that you can call and ask questions about tunign for your needs and he will tell you. Mos tof these other shops either wont know or wont bother.
