Ok, another suspension question

[1987Rock]

I've currently got 2" Dropzone springs on my car with the original shocks/struts. Could the ride be so bad because the original shocks are bottoming out?
Does anybody know of some good, affordable drop shocks? Everything I've seen besides Tokico's aren't for dropped cars.
I plan on getting some Eibach pro kit springs for a 1"-1.5" drop, so I'm looking for some shocks for that drop, but that might work for the 2" until I can buy the new springs. Thanks

If I'm not mistaken we can run shocks/struts from the fox bodies (87-93) which are 1" shorter than ours. This along with the design of a good set of shocks/struts should give you the result you're looking for.

I'm not 100%, but I'm pretty darn sure, so if someone else could confirm that would be helpful.

With a 2" drop, the shocks are most certainly bottoming out.

If you plan on getting the Eibach Pro-Kit, I am almost certain they sell spring/shock combo kits for the Pro-Kit.

It will cost more than just the springs alone, but might be a route worth checking.

Yeah, I know they make struts/shocks to go with them, but they are fairly expensive. I like the KYB Gr2 struts and Gas A Just shocks, but I don't think they make them for a dropped car.
That's interesting about the fox body shocks, I've heard that before, but don't know if it's true.

it is true for our cars when lowered you may use the 87-93 strut and shocks that give you some more travel. the fox has naturally a lower ride hieght than our car. i just did all the research for new struts for mine.

Cool, sounds like that's the way to go.
