Absolutely best SPRING/STRUT combo for 4th gen 5-speed

What do you guys think is the absolute best strut\spring combo for a 4th generation 5-speed. The 5spd makes a huge differece because of less weight in the front produces an uneven ride with some suspension combos....SO what do you guys think is the best one?

There's no best one, there's only "choice"

But if I'd have to pick one I'd say JIC FLT-A2s, with the runner up being Eibach/Koni. But I only judge on performance and handling.

Not to knock on this post but the suspension question to me is a absolute opinion. Is like asking how do you like a girl slim thick medium, curly hair straight hair etc..I would not consider the maxspeed a great spring.

Absolute best spring/strut combo would be stock springs with AGX's and a few bolt on's such as an FSTB and RSB. That combo will give you the best ride, maintain full suspension travel & greatly reduce body roll which will increase handling charasterics above most stock cars in our class on the road.

Toss on some very sticky rubber and you have a very fun, comfy car to drive.

I completely agree with you, njmaxseltd.
Just finished my AGX install with SE springs last weekend. The 1/2 f/r setting feels like stock, 2/4 is very nice, and there's still room to crank the setup more stiff if the road is worthy.
Got full wheel travel on my 4x4!
