I've searched, read, and pondered for days . . . I need a little help with a decision from those with real-world experience.
I'm installing lowering springs since I need to replace the 27 year old shocks. The front springs are from Pick-n-pull. The donor car had an H&R window sticker and they are a deep blue. There is no writing on them (worn off), so unknown drop and spring rate, although I suspect about a 1.5 inch drop. Maybe they're sports? They are not progressive: same measured distance from coil to coil. Donor car had the springs rattling around in the housing by about half an inch. One shock was blown - looked like OEM shocks.
My handling parameters: I drive in San Francisco, so I want the front to be as stiff as comfortably possible to avoid the chance of hitting my oil pan. But when going over rough roads I do want some level of comfort (no "bang" "bang" with every bump)
With that level of drop, would Billy HDs fit the bill better than the sports?
