So I did search and came up with a 1001 different answers. I have a 12 inch 200-lb spring rate coil-over kit I bought from summit and Im wanting to upgrade the front shock to go with it. I currently have aftermarket lower control arms and I don't remember the brand, but with a bump steer kit and everything else is still stock . This is mainly a weekend street car and sometimes a 30-mile trip to work on the highway car. There has been a few pounds shaved off the front with heads and such but not much added. The car did come with cheap KYB shocks and I went ahead and tried the coil over kit with them and it works but rides a little rough. I know Blisteins are the possible favorites but Im wanting to stay around the $300 range if possible.

I run 250# springs and bilstiens. Rides really well.

Keep in mind, coil-over kits tend to be designed around specific struts. You can't really take a coil over kit designed for a tokico strut, and use it with a bilstien strut. The body dimensions, and where the coil over sleeve ride are different. You need to see what other struts that particular kit is compatible with.

Thats what I was running into when searching for a answer. The brand is Granatelli Motor Sports seems like the Strange adjustable was the front runner besides the Blistiens.
