I want to upgrade my suspension to something where i can adjust the stiffness. I have been looking at bilsteins and koni's. Does anyone have any sets in particular that they like. Pros and cons...you guys are the experts....

Only the Konis are user adjustable....The Bils you have to send out.....
You can also use adjustable swaybars such as those by Tarett Engineering.... |

Adjustable sway bars are your best bet.. You can adjust how much extra spring rate goes on the front or the rear by adjusting how far the bar lever is towards the center of the bar (further center.. stiffer)
Koni's are your best bet as well.. Heck, im just reiterating what mike said... lol |

REDS vs Yellow koni's reds aer nice and soft... but can be adjusted wayyyy firm. perfect for a street car. yellows can be adjusted HIGHER stiffness... perfect for track and AX cars.... |
