Default Suspension Mods To EFII

Whats the best suspension mods/kit that I can get for an EFII Ghia? I want a sportier ride than whats in it and for it to be a bit lower but not ridiculously so.

Cheers,
Dave

I'd go King superlows and Monroe GT gas shocks. That's what I have in my EL and the ride is pretty good and the car doesn't sit ridiculously low.

I have whiteline gear in my EFII and it handles really good and sits at a nice height.
- Pedders shocks
- Whiteline springs, cast and camber kit and swaybars

Another vote for Whiteline 'The Works Low' kit. The shocks/spring rates/rollbars are all matched for each other.

I've got Monroe GT shocks/King Superlow springs and the ride is a fair bit harsher than stock, and the spring rates don't suit the shocks all that well. If you're concerned about ride height, King Springs aren't very consistant, some cars will drop to legal height, some don't drop more than an inch, and some drop 30mm below legal.

I second the inconsistancy comment with the king springs. My front end Low springs are a good 2cms heigher than my mates. Heights can vary.

But other than that if your after firm springs Kings are firmer than say lovells/whitelines which arent as harsh impact wise...from what I've heard.
