Well I have Eibach lowering springs (~1.5-2" drop), and now its time for shocks. What do you all recommend? Where is the best place to get them?


You guys have any websites?


NOTE: I do not go to the strip often, but i love driving around and 'testing' out the handling on the car from time to time :) Whats the best option to go with. Thanks.
 
I bought my Tokico Illuminas from from Maximum Motorsports, they are sell Bilsteins if thats your preference. Most people run one or the other. Its really hard to beat the 5-way Tokicos you can set them to super stiff or softer than stock if you like.
 
I plan on buying the HP or premium performance tokicos (blue ones) from maximummotorsports.com to go with my H&R supersports. They are cheaper than the illuminas and are supposed to be like a "3" setting if you were to compare it to a setting on the illuminas... Someone said on here yesterday that the mach 1 shocks and struts would wear out fairly quickly with that much of a drop, but i don't have any personal experience with it.
 
If you want some good shocks for cheap look into Mach 1 shocks and struts. All they are is just revalved Tokico HPs.

For $170 you can't beat them. The ride is just firm enough, not too firm. Great all around package.

I'm happy.
