Im looking to replace the factory shocks. Does anyone know which aftermarket shocks(only) are the stiffest available?

What's your indended usage for car? Street driving? Racing? Have you (or are you planning to) make any other suspension modifications?

Simply seeking out the "stiffest" available is probably not going to be the best way to pick out a new shock.

That said, if your budget allows, you can certainly get a set of racing shocks (Koni, JRZ, Penske, Moton, etc...) that can be valved to rattle your teeth as much as you'd like.

cheers,

my stook is mainly used for street driving. I currently have the FEELS springs/stock shocks setup. I prefer to have a very stiff ride. I am used to having both the GAB and KONI setups in my previous cars.

Does Koni or GAB have applications for our stook yet?

Wanting a firm street ride is fine but you will have a very harsh car with stiff springs (if you insist, Spoon among others will sell you full race springs). It is said you can get a firm ride from Tein but at greater cost the Mugen units have much wider adjustments.

Konis can be adapted by a custom shop. I may go that route.
