Hello my shock are dead, i have base GT 2017

I need new and i vant upgrade from base but,
i want little sporty feel and little drop but with best comfort what is possible, i ride only daily in city on sux roads with many dumbs, rails atc...

And i dont know if

1. Pedders sportsryder ezfit kit
2. PP shock with any 1" springs
3. ford racing track kit M-18000-F with any street minimum drop springs (its can work with street ford springs?)

I prefere ford brand but im scary from track kit becaus maybe can be tough? or with softer springs can be useble to daily?

Any ideas or tips? Thanks

#1 for performance while still offering good ride quality would be Billsteins with the FP X springs. A close second would be the FR track shocks with the X or W springs.

I have the Bilstein B6 shocks and struts for half a year or so, I've found them to become noisy after couple of months(especially the rear ones). I changed the rears once over because the first set become noisy after a month, now the second set is noisy too at low speeds. That's my only caution against the Bilsteins. Also, the monotubes are pretty harsh on stepped pavement ( cut or raised edges) at low speeds, so don't be surprised to feel that your car has wood blocks instead of shocks on the mentioned above type of pavements at low speeds, but they handle high speed maneuvers and sharp turns really well.

I had same experience with above poster, except rear noise. One of my rears had the bottom threaded insert lose integrity was replaced under warranty.

Great high way dampers lousy city dampers of have any broken or neglected pavement.
