Best front coilovers?

Iam looking for some advice on new shocks for the front. I currently have the leveling kit in the front with stock shocks and the ride of course is terrrible!
Looking into going through PRG and either the DR's or the fox CST's. What do all you think of these products? Thanks.

SAW's for the street. DR's for offroad.

The fox is an emulsion shock, forget it.

SAW, DR and Radflo all have good shocks. I have used the DR and SAW and the SAWs offer more travel and perform better on and off road.

SAWs are also known as Race Runner shocks.

Re: Best front coilovers?

I have been very pleased w/ my SAW's. Esp after the re-valving. Even better now. Greg at PRG is great to deal with.

Re: Best front coilovers?

I talked to Greg about that. He actually recommended I just go with the SAW's, and the UCA's. The 3-leaf springs on the rear of the 4x4 are about the same as the Deavers (almost anyway - not EXACTLY the same thing), and that it would almost be throwing money away. On a 2WD, it's a good upgrade. I also got the rear 1.5" blocks and the traction bars. Oh, and he's got the SAW's for the rear now as well.

Re: Best front coilovers?

Good to know. I might get out even cheaper. How are the saw rears different from the billstein's? What was the price breakdown on all of that(if you dont mind me asking?)
