Hey,
Im looking into getting some new shocks and struts pretty soon but I dont know the differences between the various options.
WHere can I find out how more information about how much tighter the ride will be, how mcuh of a change in ride height, and any other information about the various options for my 98 GS4 Shocks and struts?

1. build quality
2. amount of drop (springs)
3. handling characteristics (i.e. compression rate for springs)
4. ride compliance (shocks)
3 and 4 kind of goes hand in hand and there are way too many combination to try and analyze. After a search and some reading, if you still have questions on specific items or combos, post back and I am sure members with direct info will help you out.
Good luck.

Being lazy will get you nowhere in life.
