What car do you have, what is the intended use, and how much do you have to spend? My automatic respsonse is some proper aftermarket shocks, but I can't suggest which ones until you give more info.

Well you didn't mention how much money you were looking to spend, so I was hoping you'd come back with an estimate before I posted again. But no big, here's my thoughts...

If you are looking for serious performance handling, I recommend quality adjustable shocks. Yes the adjustment features can cause some trouble for inexperienced users, but there's always someone you know who should be able to help setup the car for you. And it's not rocket science, you adjust the shocks to cater to whatever use(s) the suspension is being built for. So I would look into Koni Yellow shocks (single adjustable, rebound only) as a good performance match for your springs, and then some quality tires. Tires make more of a difference in handling than any other upgrade, you'll be amazed at the differences in grip and handling if you are still running on stockers. Try for a set of Bridgestone S03's if you like their price, it's what I run and couldn't be happier.

Thanks man koni is kinda what i was lookin for i already have the toyo ts-1 tires and the grip like hell so i think that i am straight on that. So once i get the shocks what else do i need for my suspension? You asked about money, it is a factor but I want to get the right stuff so if I have to save for another month then i will do so.

I highly recommend ditching your factory rear swaybar with a thicker aftermarket unit. Installation isn't that hard and a Suspension Techiniques rear sway bar is only about 150 bucks and it's one of the thickest on the market. A new rear sway bar will definetly cancel a lot of your cars inherent factory understeer giving you a much more neutral cornering attitude. I really like my Tokico Illumina shocks which are 5-way adjustable and would go well with your springs until you upgrade to a coilover sleeve (Ground Control) or a true coilover kit.
