I would go with a set of Coil Overs from MM. You can go with the Cobra R HD Bilstein's or a set of Koni Adjustibles

If you just want a good, affordable strut these are them. Depending on your budget, I would look at MM coil over with stock or HD strut.

Fronts wont help wheel hop. I would stay away from coil overs on a street car, they can tend to be more hassle than good and are very hard on the upper strut towers. I personally would go for the Tokico double adjustables in the front. That way you can play with the settings at the strip for more weight transfer, AND then play again for turning on a road course. Wheel hop is another story. I do have some "secrets" up my sleaves
Why does this forum always look like a "sales" forum?

I wouldn't say this forum always looks like a sales forum but meister, tone it down a bit. We know you guys are sponsors but the sale bit in this post is a little too much!

Your car comes with Bilstein's. I put them in my 01 and combined them with Steeda sport springs and love the combo. The shocks and struts you have now are more than adequate to acommodate a spring change if that's what you want.

But he is saying that the factory Bilstein's aren't soft enough to give weight transfer,and help stop the wheel hop,but he does like it on the streets.
He wants something that will give some tranfer to put the weight to the rear tires,and hopefully eliminmate wheel hope,but can go home on the street with the same ride his got now.
