Suspension Setup

Hey guys,

I know this has been discussed a million times, but searching through piles of threads on this stuff is very tiring, so I figured I'd ask directly. My suspension is making funny noises I'm gonna have to do a change, so I figured I'd go aftermarket. Here's my priorities:

1) Smooth ride
2) Handling
3) Drop - I don't want much drop at all. I don't want to look too low. Don't second guess me I promise.

Whats a good spring/strut combo to go with what I want? Thanks

H&R + AGX = Smooth ride, great handling and just the right drop to make the car look good, not slammed.

I don't bottom out anywhere on that combo.

SPAM.

H&R + Tokico = very smooth, H&R + AGX on low settings = decently smooth.

You need 4 shocks and 4 springs for a complete swap right? I'm really confused about this so I asked. My old man said to find some and he's been throwing money around lately so WTF righ???

Thats all you need unless you have parts you want to change like worn dustboots.

Thanks for all the help! I think I'm going to go with H+R/KYBAGX it seems to be just the right balance of everything.
