Who is installing the suspension? Find someone who knows about suspensions to install it. And not someone who is selling it out of a parts books.

For street use the Bilstien PSS9 kit works very well and is the most compliant. The JIC cross can be had with upgraded springs to offer a firmer ride.
Contrary to what people say that a racing shock ride stiffer than the 2 other choices. If tuned properly a Moton or JRZ can offer a better ride than both the PSS9 and JIC. But you need to find someone who knows about shocks to set them up..
I have Motons on our GT2 and absolutley love the ride , It is very comfortable and very compliant and the ride is night and day compared to the stock suspension.

Just remember when it comes to suspension - You get what you pay for....

I am no expert regarding racing shocks, but I have always wondered about people just buying these parts and bolting them on.

I have four way JRZ's and I can remember the height of the car being important in regards to the lenght of the shaft. I believe once the height of the car was determined, then the lenght of the shaft could be derrived. It wasn't a matter of just bolting then on.
