#18735, "Which springs and shocks to buy"




          

Im going to buy the Eibach Prokits already but I need to know a good shock that compliments them really well. I dont want to go over $500 total with springs and shocks and I dont want to have to adjust my camber at all...so something that will keep my drop around 1.2-1.3 in. TIA!

should I get springs and shocks or would just getting the springs be fine?

If you put aftermarket springs on without replacing the shocks, the stock shocks will blow real quick and you'll have one hell of a bouncy ride. Most people like to do both at the same time since it's basically the same install process. Kill 2 birds with one stone.

I have prokits in my room right now collecting dust while I wait for my new shocks. Still haven't decided which ones to get yet. Not my biggest priority atm (damn bills!)

How are KYB GR2s? I found them for $50 each and I found the Prokits for $200. Anyone know how good GR2s are? What about Tokico HPs? Found those for $218 for 4.

I like the Tokico Illumnias. They were a bit expensive, but it was worth it in the end. We also have ground control coilovers on the illumnias.
