suspension set up

Trying to figure out a good suspension setup for my 99 max. I want to keep a comfy ride, while increasing handling on corners. This is my commuter, and I want to keep it easy on the a$$, while being able to blast the curves when I have the opportunity.

For this type of set up, what would be a good suspension/strut combo, while maintaining the camber of the car.

Thanks

...Bill

If you don't mind wheel well gaps, keep your stock springs and toss on the KYB AGX's. Put an Addco rear sway bar on and get a front strut brace off ebay for 30 bucks.

The difference is night and day. You wind up with an amazing smooth yet very firm ride with no body roll that carves turns like a 3 series BMW.

I prefer this setup over the H&R/AGX setup. But the damn fender gap kills me. Thats why I lower my car in the summer when the 17's go on. Only for looks, if the gap wasn't so bad I'd never change my springs!

on the other hand, if you don't like the 4x4 look, do not go with Sprint springs.

i say H&R/KYB AGX Struts....it's a comfy ride and it's lowered enough to rid most of our massive gap
