I installed the Sportlines about a year and a half ago and the ride was fine with the stock struts. A few thousand miles later and the car rides like a milk truck and the struts are shot now with the drop. I'm leaning twords Tokio adjustables?? Fox or SN 95?? Moneys no object, just want the best ride possible!

Thanks

BTW- my 17x9 and 17x10.5 bullits are on the way along with some Nitto DR, 315's and 255 555's for the front. I think these will help the ride over the stock Goodyears!

Actually the ride will be a bit rougher with the larger wheels and especially with the drag radials. Maybe not by much but it won't improve.

Have you though about trying Eibach's own struts/shocks to compliment their springs?

The Tokicos are good shocks/struts if you go that route.

I would get bilstiens down that far. with them you will never have to worry about hurting you shocks or struts. if you do get another brand make sure to get the fox body models. I have read about people blowing out the regular lenght tockico's and then switching to the fox body and having good luck.

I'm looking at getting the Mach 1 stock set. They are supposed to be made by Tockico and be set for the lowered heigth from springs.
