Time for new suspenson

[Sean_99_3.8]

well the LF shock just went out on my car :(
so its time for an upgrade. what are some recommended spring/shock setups?
I called down to one of our distributors and they said i had some kind of upgraded suspension packages i cant remember the what the number was.
But i drive this car everyday in the summer and drag race. also go out to the road course when they have open track.

Koni shocks/Strano springs if you want the best. KYB AGX shocks/Strano or Hotchkis springs if you want the best bang for the buck. Springs depend more on how much you want to lower the car. Tokicos are a good shock if you keep it at stock ride height, but not really meant for lowered cars. Anything non adjustable would ideally need to be re-valved for a lowered car.

Was it? F41 SUSPENSION SYSTEM, FRT, RR, FIRM RIDE, HANDLING

That's the RPO for a stock V6 suspension. No V6 came with an "upgraded suspension package". Sorry.

Hotchkis is 1" exactly, and a good choice in springs.
