i have a friend that would change the shocks on my car.....i understand that stock springs give the best ride ....i want something similar to stock setup ....which way should i go?

 

Tokico HP. /thread

(They are pretty cheap and pretty much a stock replacement.)

 

Stock springs give the softest ride. They're not always the best; some people prefer to use H&Rs or similar, which will ride more firmly but also keep the car from wallowing and leaning like a boat.

You either want KYB GR-2s or Tokico HPs (a.k.a. "Blues"). Either of those will be slightly firmer than stock, but will keep things in control much better.

 

H-techs/illuminas are a good combo
