I know my rear setup is toast and want to knock out the whole thing at the same time...

Coilovers would be the stiffest. KW makes a set that is like $3k

Matt, the H&R's with non CATS Bilstiens are stout.

Can anyone verify the Bilstien shock part #? I am planning on doing the same setup but wasn't sure which part # was correct.

H&R Part # 29300, for quick reference if anyone needs it.

Where are your buying your springs from? Cheapest I can find is Autoplicity.com where they're $311.49 shipped...They also sell bilstiens but they're out of stock and more expensive than the shockwarehouse.com...

Thanks for reviving my post guys. Be sure to have a tech well versed in performance 4-wheel alignment do the deed. Try to get as close to "0" toe in the front and rear.
