Favorite spring and strut combo?

I know, I know! I should search it but I'm too lazy. But if you could let me know that would be awesome! Also if you have pics of your set up that would be cool too!

Thanks

good point.............. i would have said a set of coilovers if he asked for best "suspension" setup, but he was asking for strut and spring setup.

For my WRX I have KYB AGX Struts with STi pink springs and Sti upper mounts. Rides really nice and sits at a good height.

I'm looking forward to my soon to be Ground Control + Koni Yellow Inserts. With the Ground Controls you can get any spring rate you want, plus the ride height adjustability, and Konis are probably one of the best affordable shocks out. IMHO, this is just as good as a Coilover system w/o the camber plates, and much cheaper too.

I usually wouldnt go for lowered springs on stock struts but this is exactly what was on my wifes wagon we just picked up and I wouldnt change a thing. Nice drop, firm not bouncy, and when she blows them out I'll just pick up a another cheap set of used struts to throw in there
