Posted by ThE oRACLe, Sep-18-03 09:32 AM
what kindo ride would i have if i just changed the shocks to tokico gas shocks and left the stock springs ? would it be totally off ? or would i have a stiffer ride somewhat?

I believe you would have a stiffer ride, but you really need to lower your car oracle :D.

I did that. It felt exectly the same as stock. But then two weeks later I got my coilvers on and it went down hill from there.

The suspension will be a little firmer- because the shocks will seems stiffer than OEM- just remember the trip to the englishtown meet, as we were getting on that on-ramp... the lowered people did alot of weaving...

The lower the car....the worse the ride......If you lower the car, get either Teins or Prokits. IF you go full suspensinon then get true coilovers so you can adjust the height. On my next car i am not going lower then 1.5".....

if you get a good coil over setup you can get superior handling without a stiff ride. look into getting some TEIN super streets. think they're like $750

i agree amish but they are more the 750$ =)

copper is dropped 3"s and i know boston street are some of the worst ive ever seen avoid pot holes... hit things that are abover ground with tires first... miss the holes entirely...
