set up for my 2001 OBS

whats up guys? i'm kinda new to this suspension stuff and i was looking to upgrade my current 95,000 mile old set up. does anyone have any suggestions?

i drive a lot everyday, kinda aggressive and am not that big on lowering my car. i love the clearance especially for tahoe. is there anything a little better than stock? i was taking a shot in the dark...maybe used sti struts with aftermarket springs?

also if i lower my car, i think my 225's with rub even more. thanks

Not true, I was rubbing a lot with my 225's on my 95 L' sedan w/ stock suspension, but my new coil-overs - JIC FLTA2's - stopped all rubbing. However, I was a bit worried since my tires barely had enough clearance against the strut body - one to two mm max. Everything is working great so far though, and my car is definitely not "slammed."

I would recommend coil-overs for performance driving, but not long distance ~ greater than 25 miles one way is all I care to go. If you take tahoe trips go w/ STI or KYB setups.
