You know, if there were one, definitive answer to this question, it would eliminate about 12 gigs worth of the same exact question that has appeared here at least once every other day for the two years or so I've been logging on. I think the fact is that no one here — and maybe no one in Z-dom — has ever actually performed a comprehensive comparison of available shocks and/or springs. The only thing I see is subjective opinions based on what one guy has. Sure, a few have swapped one or two different types of springs or struts, or compared their car with someone elses running different springs. But I think any rational person would have to take those types of recommendations — however well meant — with a grain of salt. The only way to properly quantify what springs do what is to fit all the different types to one or two test cars and then have a number of people go out and thrash 'em on the street and on the track. Load the cars up with sensors and get some REAL — as well as subjective — information. I'm sure some car mags do this occasionally, but only with new cars. Zs are a bit dated to spend so much time and money on (at least for the big rags). And speaking of ragging, I'm not getting down on you, Wiskman. I'd dearly LOVE to know the answer to this question, too, before I fork out $300 or $400, or more, for shocks and struts. But I think if the answer were out there, we'd have read it by now. I promise if I win the lottery soon, I'll pay to have a proper test done.
I'll also get the answer to one of the two OTHER most common (almost daily) questions that get posted: "What are the biggest wheels/tires I can run?"
And for the third most common question, for the 1,000th time: yes, you CAN put a turbo motor in an N/A car. (Sorry, guess I'm just in a mood tonite.)
