Time to switch out the OEM shocks and struts, any suggestions as to some good quality ones that would match up well with C springs?

KYB AGX = good adjustable shocks for good price. I've had them for about 5 years and couldn't be happier. So glad I have adjustable shocks.

Eibach

Just installed Eibach Pro spring kit and Eibach Pro-damper shocks and struts from American Muscle. This replaced my stock springs and shocks. I really like the ride.

My friend has the Tokico Blues and they ride pretty nice and handle good. Cheap as hell too.

Tokico is nice for sure. I've always thought the KYBs are too cheap to be good... and if you read reviews, everyone says they are too harsh and valved all wrong.
I personally am sticking with OEM take offs. I paid 80$ for the set and the car rides like it did when it rolled off the assembly line.

Well when I had my GT I went with Gabriels from AutoZone. The rears were $18 each and the fronts were $38 dollars each. They lasted about 18-24 months and man the price was right. Monroe also makes a nice Sensa-Trak that is a little more expensive. Although Gabriel and Monroe are not mad tyte they are damn cheap. Do not get adjustable shocks they are too annoying cause you always feel like you should be adjusting them.

I dont know why anyone would dislike KYB AGX, certainly not because they are well priced! They are way better than illuminas. I love em.

Im looking to get the starter kit from maximum motorsports. H&R springs, Bilstein HD shocks/struts and cc plates. Dammit its just so expensive for me
right now. finding the right combination of free shipping, coupon codes, etc.... make shopping a pain. Everyone always says it MM or nothing.


anyways.... my vote would be to get the Bilsteins hd but a set if like $599

If you ever decide to go coil over--- your half way there with Bilsteins.
