Hi! I'm need to replace my whole suspension (shocks & springs) and brakes (pads & rotors) and was looking for suggestions on what to get. From what i've read, most people go with koni yellows + eibach prokits. any other brands to suggest? especially brakes since I have no idea. For suspension, I was looking for a moderate drop. Something that's still drivable in winter. Guessing that's around a 1.5" drop? was looking at H&R sportsprings.

Any suggestions would be of great help! thanks!

I just switched my brakes out last month and they were ordered online from rockauto (Price is good and shipping is fairly quick). As for suspension, I had koni oranges + prokit and I had no problem driving in the winter. I'm actually selling that set right now in the buy/sell section.

OEM rotors
Hawk HP+/HP5 pads (forgot what they are called)
Koni Orange
Prokits.

Happy at 205/50R/17 , went to 18" RX-8s with Nankang tires and the ride was hell.

I'm on koni yellows with prokits. Stiffens the car up nicely, but not too harsh, just stay away from bad potholes. No issues in the winter.

Brakes are PBR Axxis ULT up front on Delco rotors, I can lock them up at 130km/h. No noise, fairly dusty and I so far have 60,000kms on them. EBC greenstuff on the rear

I can't find that section, but how much are you looking for?
