Eibach, H&R, GM SS, all good . $160-240

relatively easy to install but an alignment afterwards is highly recommended.

There are a couple of pretty good threads in the how-to section. The only real issue I came up against was the large bolt on the strut hub for the front install. An impact wrench is the easy solution.

I find that since the shock spring are gone now you feel everything..so we have to get aftermarket struts to make the ride smoother

If you fill your tires up to about 35-37psi thats whats SS or Eibach ProKit springs ride like with stock shocks, bumpyness wise.

Konis are very nice, but not needed. Stock is fine, SS is better, Konis when youve got a spare $650
