At 82,000 miles my CSVT's suspension is shot. What should I upgrade to (struts and springs)? With my '90 SHO, I went with Koni (five way adj.) and Eibach and was really satisfied. Are they the right choice for my CSVT, or do you know of anything better? Thanks. p.s. I have 225/45/16 tires on stock wheels.

I love my Eibach springs on BAT struts.
Then I would recommend a rear strut tower bar and sub frame connectors

been riding around in my tour for a week or so. it came with H&R springs and BAT Struts... i'm all for the H&R's but they aren't the right match for the bat struts. koni gets my vote.

BAT springs and Bilsteins for a moderate drop

H&R springs and Bilsteins for a little more drop.

Do the Bilsteins kill ride quality, or will I be able to keep my fillings. I want superior handling. Just not at the expense of a jarring ride.

It is slightly stiffer than stock but with those and Eibachs and 215/45/17's I AM having a problem keeping my cd players from skipping - but I think it may be the install. It's hard to give a definitive answer on ride quality in words. You just have to ride in one that's modded similar to what you think you might want.
