Default how are they?....they still make them?

i was thinkin vogtland (S4 in the rear) and koni shocks. but id like to go a lil stiffer (i think vogtland is 330? front and 360 rear?) would the adjustable konis abe ok for that stiff spring rate?

Default the 4500/500 hyperco springs were custom wound several years ago

to match the oem springs and are now discontinued. however you can find standard flat hyperco springs from places like colman racing or any race car parts outlet. if you go this route you will need to have the shocks custom valved to match the spring rates you choose and buy flat spring seats. if you wanna go this route I would just choose a shorter race shock w/ a stiff spring and medium damping. you could also use the standard bilstein and use coilover adapers.<ul><li><a href="http://www.colemanracing.com/prodex/">http://www.colemanracing.com/prodex/</a</li></ul>

Default vogtlands are supposed to be really good

they dont make the hyperco's anymore. not sure on the konis. best option would be to try to get rides in as many setups as possible. what 1 person loves, another may hate. its very subjective
