Default OEM+ struts and springs

I've just bought a mint my95 classic and its come with Tein street coilovers, I'm getting a bit old or I just don't like the really stiff ride. What's a good OEM+ option for the classic??

I want to do the anti roll bars as well but struts and springs for now and then move onto the anti roll bars.





Thanks in advance

Dylan

Bilstein struts and Prodrive springs are meant to be the best combo.

I've got Bilsteins and standard Type R springs on mine and that combo is bloody great imo but the Bilsteins are expensive but can be rebuilt if required.

If you can't find a set (which may be the case) then the red struts from the later classic STIs would be good

Speak to Bilstein as they can refurb them (guess they wont get them repainted though) but you could always see what they say.
