DemonGT · May 18, 2005

i have stock springs..and lakewood 50/50 shocks in back...i want to switch to the eiboch pro kit springs...and if i do that id like to replace the stock struts...but what struts should i look at? i dont want any real expensive..and i dont want a really harsh ride..or for it to handle like a truck..if the struts have anything to do with that....any pointers?

Suck it up and buy Bilstein's. You wouldn't be sorry!

If you want quality without paying out the a$$, check out Strange. they have a new line of shocks and strut that are reasonably priced.
I run Koni myself.

KYB are a pretty good bang for the buck setup. Do a search for them and you will find some pretty positive feedback.

A guy I used to work with swore by Monroe Sensatracs in his notch. Never tried them myself, but he loved em

I have KYB struts and shocks. I have had them in for about a week now and i cant complain at all. I go tthe adjustable ones and you adjust the struts from the top of the strut inside the engine bay so its really easy to go from full race to street. They were cheap off ebay too.

so the 50/50s are too harsh of a ride?

cjman15 · May 18, 2005

got the entry level KYB GR2s off ebay cheap, and they're even a nice step-up from stock... definately just meant for the street, but alot better feeling than the old ones

Big KYB fan over here! Top Notch in my books! LOVE EM!! lol .....eh?

I'm running Tokico Illumina 5-way adjustables.....they work great. I can make it a harsh ride or a nice ride from the tops of all 4.

havnt really notice a big difference with the 50/50's in back

but i guess right now anything would be better then the stock struts i have....seems like everyone has a different opinion...which will make this even harder

I had the KYB non-adjustable shocks and struts on last summer. Couldn't wait to pull that junk off. Put on a set of Koni's and what a difference.
PS. Anybody want a set of KYB's with 4000 miles on them, cheap?

ram360 · May 19, 2005

Went w/ a set of KYB's on my daily driver and I'm very pleased. I have a set of koni's on my other car and it rides like a mack truck.

Just make sure the shocks/struts are matched to the spring pressures you are using. That is what gives you a nice ride with great handling.

Guyfoxbody · May 19, 2005

Tokico if you're on a budget. Bilstein if not.

I was going to go with the Kini's, but decided to wait until I have enough for the Bilsteins. they are THE BEST shock money can buy. Plus, you can't kill them!
