I ran for over 3 years with stock springs, shocks and struts. My rear springs have a coil cut from them and I have V6 front springs. I now use Koni SPA1 shocks and struts but also have the HP where I need them.

Invest in LCA relocation brackets, aftermarket adjustable torque arm and LCA's and a set of sticky tires (not a street tire).

There's 6 of them on the top of the page. They're not just there to make the page look pretty.

I recommend Spohn for suspension parts.
