Best for what? Lows? Comfort? Handling? All-rounder?

you need to think about what YOU want? What sought of roads will the car be mostly driven on and as Motorhole suggests, what sought of ride are you looking for ? Unfortunately performance and comfort don't go hand in hand, you can get a compromise with coil overs with adjustable shocks, but then it's how much $ do you want to spend ? Careful planning, do you intend to eventually go 5 stud, hence bigger brakes because the setups are totally different, then you end up doing the job twice, how much money are you prepared to throw at the car and how far do you want to go? Careful planning saves money. Ask other zoners what they are running, but in the end you must be happy with the choice YOU make.

For everyone else replying: OP asked this THREE YEARS AGO. It's a dead thread revived by accident. Move on.
