    Front Shocks and Springs???

    I'm ready to do my front shocks and springs. I think I want the IAS shocks but hear the KYB's are just as good at half the price. Now which KYB shocks do I want for a nice firm ride. Secondly what are springs am I looking for? Autozone has wagon springs but I don't know if there is something out there that would be better for a firm ride. I already have cargo coils and air shocks out back now its time for the front.

    KYBs for newer police applications work extremely well. Thats what I run.

    I think 5.0 HD police springs would work well fo the front.

        Do you have a part number or something and where can I get them.

        I don't think I want drop springs I like my clearance.
