My car is lowere 2.25 in rear and 2.00 in front. H&R race springs. What shocks should I use? I hear so many, tokico, koni, kyb, bilstien, tein, it never ends. I want a nice stiff ride, because right now I’m on stock shocks, and it is a little too bouncy.
Thanx alot guys,
Acurazor
TTT
C’mon can someone please help me.

with a drop that low you will need somethin like tokico illumina (whites) shocks, they are 5-way adjustable. As for koni, not sure if the reds can take that drop, the the yellow’s are the kings of shocks. Bilstiien doesnt make a shock for our teg, AGX shocks are only made for the front, and you have to do a eg or ek ordc rear susp. conversion to get AGX shocks on the bad, so I have read. Tokico blues and the kyb gr2’s wont stant up to that type of drop and will be prone to blowing out after a given amount of time. This is everything I have picked up in my search for shocks. :idea:
what he said
Either Koni will handle any drop and any spring rate because they ae customizable and rebuildable.
:rockon:
can be revavled, body shortened, can add a second adjustment point, lifetime warrenty if it ever breaks
koni’s are great shocks, and lots can be done for them, and once again lifetime
So it sounds like Yellows is the way to go. What is a good price range for yellows? I just don’t wannt spend too much. thanx alot guys you’ve been a great help.

yellows are about the most expensive shock out there, i think $500 a set is the going rate. if you want to go cheaper you can do KYB AGX or the tokico whites but they won’t be quite as nice as the konis.
do NOT get something like the KYB GR2s which are made for stock ride height, not lowered. you need to have the appropriate stiffness to prevent bottoming out and bouncing all over the place.
I’ll either get tokico whites(illuminas) or yellows. How much better are yellows than the whites? Big difference?
Thanx,

by all accounts the konis are the best quality shock available for our cars. it’s a matter of how much you want to spend =)
alrigt thanx alot, you’ve been a big help. I thing I’… be getting the yellows.
Thanx.
