Shock absorbers KONI or Monroe
Fresh suspension, Koni shocks and H&R Springs. New front and rear shock mounts
My recommendation for street is Koni Yellows with the FM springs.
I’m running some Monroe mono tubes that I got off rock auto ???? somewhere there is a listing of shock absorber lengths by number, after I got my mounts situated I looked up shocks using that.
Koni Special Actives are an excellent choice for your objectives.
Monroe Severe Service shocks front and rear. I've had them on my 1999 Crown Victoria Base Model since August 2020.
Have a look at some Koni sports they keep the car handling well and can lower it to close that gap up a bit and take off the blue tint.
I\u2019d personally recommend some Koni yellows off FM.
for shocks find Bilstien good for OE or 'Yellow' for \u00a3\u00a3\u00a3s and a cheaper option Monroe.
I went back to OEM after Koni Yellows with Eibach springs on both. The freeways in SoCal were too rough and it felt like I was crashing constantly
I've always considered Monroe the bottom of the barrel for shocks.
