    yeah definately get some real coilovers, or some nice sleeve coilovers with a nice set of struts, maybe tokiko illuminas. but for the best ride and for the best price i would go with omni's or the skunk2 full coilovers

    Anything that has the dampening/rebound of the shock matched to the spring rate. If you're gonna be slammed then you need a stiffer spring though to keep from bottoming out, tires hitting the fenders & wheel wells, etc.

    Dude, just get some ground control coilovers($300) and some tokico illumnia($400) struts. That would be a solid choice.

    What's the point of that when he can just get Omni's for the same price, if not cheaper?

    Because both the coilovers and struts come with a lifetime warranty.

    ....or you could just deal with your crappy ride for now, save your pennies, and buy a baller setup later down the road.
