Bilstein shocks and lowering springs, you retain a more comfortable ride whilst getting better handling and making the car a bit lower
I lifted my other 2004GX470 with some Bilsteins and springs (in back). It rode also great. I sold it to my mom and she loved it and the ride.
i'm currently running Koni oranges (STR.T) with Tein H-techs which are a very mild upgrade spring. they'll feel like stock with a bit more control and have a lifetime warranty. i'm told they feel like a Koni yellow on full soft, and they don't involve cutting - direct replacement. i have almost 30k miles on mine and they groan sometimes in the cold but are otherwise holding up just fine.
Koni yellows were awesome in my GLI when I had them
Definitely recommend the koni yellows. They’re adjustable but like mentioned before you have to cut the oem front strut to install them. They’re actually an insert but the rears are a simple drop in. Forgot to add they also come with a lifetime warranty as long as you keep the receipt. Had mine for 6 years and one of the drivers blew out and I sent it back and they replaced it free of charge just had to pay to ship it to them but return shipping was free.
I put Bilstein’s on my 16. First did the silver ones, forget the model. Those lasted 2 years. Changed those out to the uglier yellow with blue boots last summer. I like the ugly ones better.
I have the bilsteins and have no complaints. Thought they were a quality shock for the money. I really forget that I even have new shocks on the truck which tells me that they are doing their job well. Side note: I go on quite a few adventures with my truck, so the shocks get put through solid testing off road.
See vogtland springs and bilstein shocks. I used on mine and love em.
Installed used OEM AWD Tig springs/shocks Upgraded to Koni Yellow Tig shocks Installed SuperPro control arm bushings/brackets to bring alignment into spec and hopefully help with high speed steering vagueness
Those Koni's rusted out quickly on an old integra I had. Seemed cheap out of the box. Have had several Bilstein setups. Never an issue.
