I don't want it to ride like a dump truck and I'm not interested in tires rubbing my fenders. I have stock SVT wheels and the stock tire size. I'd like to lower it just enough to handle better, but not to the point that I'd run into any kind of clearance problems...and I don't want Koni...don't want to fool around w/ adjustments.

Bilstein Struts w/H&R or B&G(sport) springs for a little more sportier handling Originally posted by Hdbngr8: Get the BAT kit I like the BAT idea...it seems to be the kit that lowers the vehicle the least, maybe...I'm guessing that KYB struts/BAT sport springs will work about the same as a total BAT setup? Any difference in the ride or construction quality between KYB and BAT struts? If I'm getting too fussy I'll just go w/ BAT springs and struts. Thanks

It did kind of leave me wanting more, but I wouldn't go stiffer or lower around my way as most of the roads are pretty chewed up. 1998.5 T-Red on Midnight Blue SVT Build Number 5320 of 6535
