        Ok but what struts/shocks are you going to run with those springs. That will make a huge difference too. H&R race with Billie sports might be too stiff for your DD

          How bad are the roads near you, and can you tolerate a firm ride? The races will be very, very firm. I don't mind them, but it is a taste thing. If your roads are really bad, I would consider going with sports and a set of H&R swaybars.

          EDIT: also, if you are running bilsteins, their initial damping is quite stiff. Konis will feel softer on the street, and offer some adjustment depending on what you get.

            i was thinking konis but i wont be able to afford them since they are more expensive than bilstein sports
