I was reading in the search I guess we do not have all the options of shocks and springs until the manufacturers make them for our year. So what is available right now. I read Eibach springs KYB struts and shocks what else because I need something tougher if I drop there is too many potholes and messed up roads in the tristate area of NY NJ CT.

Oh OK gotcha!!

There are several spring options available.I think the the most popular here are the progress springs.Im pretty sure they can be had for about 180.00.I cant speak for those,I use the Eibachs.They have a pretty aggressive drop but still ride very nice.Personally Id buy either of the 2 I mentioned.However Tein makes some as well.Make someone else can speak of those.

As far as struts go,right now Im stock.As far as I know the only aftermarket option are the KYB's.From what Ive read the will give you a stiffer ride,but work well with a lowered suspension.

Thanks for the info also for people who use OEM stock are the new OEM stronger to handle the drop in the front and rear. I had other gens and the stock would never hold up and pop with tough road conditions. How many miles do you have with the Eibach stock shocks setup???

I have about 2000 miles with the Eibachs.I do how ever still have a "cluncking" noise from the passenger side.I got some advice from other members here but no luck.Its not a huge deal,but it is alittle annoying.

i have less than 500 miles on my eibachs dropped and i have been loving the new setup, the drop is aggresively nice with 19's 245 45 up front and a 275 30 in the back... i put five people in the car and hit an exit curve doing 60 and it handled well i was impressed i thought it would rub but it didnt.... i like the eibach's...
