Default H&R/Bilstein w/ snub mount?

If you want adjustability grab the ECS kit for the springs/shocks (I have them, but not installed)...Then just get a snub mount to tide you over till you get a DTS

Default Save up for the suspension.

If you're like me, you'll wish you saved up for a better suspension the the H&R/Bilstein combo... even though it's a giant improvement over stock...

DTS is great, but minor compared to a suspension upgrade.

Default Suspension

Vogtland/KONI would be my choice over H&R/Bilstein.

The DTS is a great supplement, but I'd start with a good suspension first.

Default Yes.

My new setup should be here soon. If I had to guess, I'd estimate I'll have it installed by the second week of Feb. I wanted 'em for Christmas, looks like I'm getting 'em for my birthday. The wife thinks that's just fine

The H&R/Bilstein setup will have about 1 year on them... You have dibs on 'em if you want 'em-- and can wait.

Big dummy me ordered my Stasis Motorsports from APR (on Dec. 1). I keep getting a friendly runaround on when they will be shipped. They say the 800 lb. Hyperco springs were bad (or something) and they're waiting on a new batch. They haven't charged my CC yet, so I'm not holding my breath.
