What type of shock/sturts/springs do you have?

[WC_Racer]

Looking at buy somone shock/struts and just wondering what everyone has or has used and what you think of them. I currently have the Ford Racing K spring, but they are a bit too rough of a ride and I plan on getting Steeda Ultra-Light or Sport Springs. Has anyone used either and switched?

Plan on getting Steeda 2011 GT Non-Adjustable Shocks (Front & Rear). Anyone using running this set up?

Don't you mean STRUT?

Have you looked at Koni STR.T's? Alot of guys run those with Steeda Sports and love the set up.

Steeda Pro Action struts/shocks with FRPP K springs, not too bad a ride

I run the steedas with k springs. Ride is a little harsh but I realy don't care. Handles great when aggressive tho. I've heard only good things about the koni's.

Steeda ultralights. Stock other wise. Rides a little stiffer than stock but I like it. Not unpleasant at all. No nose dive and handles pretty well for just springs.

I have the Koni STR.T/Eibach pro kit springs

nice ride with great handling.I also have MM caster camber plates and adjustable panhard bar.

I will be going Steeda sport springs and Tokico D specs. The adjustability is priceless and you can tear up a drag strip on a Saturday and own a road course on a Sunday.

Damn typo. Pretty good information. Looks like I'll be ordering a set of Koni and sport springs. Thanks guys.

Im running Steeda Sports with Tokico D-Spec and I love them. I tried the sports with Koni STR.T's and it was a little to hard of a ride. Love the adjustability of the D-Specs!

Koni STR's and Steeda Sports. Love it.

Late to the party... and parts will not be installed until next month, but I went with Tokico D-Spec's('11+ fitment) to go with the Steeda Sport Springs and Steeda Heavy Duty Strut Mounts('11+ fitment). Steeda's Bump Steer Kit, Front Adjustable Sway Bar, and Rear Adjustable Sway Bar are all to be installed at the same time. Other parts, such as Steeda's 3rd Link Mount/Adjustable Upper Control Arm/Billet Lower Control Arms/Panhard Bar and Brace, are presently installed. Hopefully, this set-up will show some noticeable improvements.

Also, why I had to go this route is because in the event that lowering the car proves to be an issue on these city streets, I would be forced to revert back to the stock springs and remove bump steer kit.

i have this setup

K springs on stock struts suck for about a month before the struts wears in. After that it gets better but is far from ideal. When I lower my new 2011 I will go the same route since I don't want to drop the coin on proper struts.

hey Cobra1718, did you have to do any modifications to the rest of the suspension? Was looking at the P springs and it says you have to use the Ford Racing strut mounts and dampers. did you have to do this?
