I have looked but I don't have enough time in the day to view all posts, so.
I am replacing my struts, springs, and mounts.
I don't want anything more than a 1" drop, but on my 97 gtp I bounced and had a rough ride with BMG springs and KYB struts.
Opinions for:
1. KYB vs. MONROE struts
2. KONI adjustables vs. Tokiko's ?
3. Does anyone know of more spring options than BMG and Eibach?
Or, just post your choices and I will review and research them.
I do not want a rough ride, close to stock ride, but handling cababilities. Thank You.

If it were me, I'd go for the Koni strut/spring combo.

Just be weary that I think the Koni springs are more than 1" drop.

Just to clarify what Bobby is talking about.... GM offers a Performance Strut Spring package. http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/results.cfm?singlepart=1&partnumber=12498354 They come assembled. Not as aggressive as a Koni/Eibach combo, but adjustable, and lowers your car less than an inch. No spring compressor required.
