    Best DD spring/ shock setup

    Hey Im looking for a good suspension setup for a DD eta. Not too much of a drop b/c it will see a lot of snow but firm enough to have fun in the summer. What do you guys think would be my best bet? Thanks

    I think a lot of people will recommend H&R sports with Bilstein sport shocks. I have H&R race so I can't say what the ride is like but a lot of people seem to run the sports.

      I love my DD races 80% of the time. Speed bumps and downtown hurts my ass though.

      my Eibachs were awesome for daily driving.

          I daily drove on my races as well for just over a year. I had no issues with it and loved it as well.

            Bilstein Sports + H&R Sports have been working out great for me.

                  Looks like Ill be going with billy and h&r sports. I wouldn;t mind races but I think the drop will be too low for all the snow we get.

                    Just picked up some ground controls, so we'll see how that goes ;)

                      One last suggestion., I just got e36m3 stock springs put in the rear and eibach springs with adjusters in the front to give it that clearance whenever I want it, the ride is comfortable, not too high, not too low and stiff as hell, cornering is so fun, I also kept my HD billys.

                      Here's the stance, hopefully this isn't monster truck status for you.

                        ^^ That is a prefect stance. What adjusters are you running in the rear just gc's or some custom ones?

                          Well I think my tires actually do the job in the rear 225/50/15's

                              I have IE stage 3 springs (Ireland Engineering) + Billy's (currently blown) but have new ones in boxes behind me, best bang for the buck. I like them better than my friends H&R + billy sports...
