I'm tired of how crappy the ride is on my car. For starters, the brakes are worn to all hell and the rotors need to be replaced-hence the wobling of my steering wheel whenver I brake. Whenever I go 60-70 mph, the steering wheel shakes like hell-hence why I need to get new tires and have them balanced. Third, the ride generally speaking isn't too smooth. My car has about 65k miles on it. Do the shocks need to be replaced? I plan on getting a pro-kit, so I figure I may as well get them replaced anyway.

Do you guys have any ideas as to what I should do about these problems and what kind of shocks, rotors, etc I should get?

Lol. Actually I just realized that if everything touching the ground must go, my car would be on cinder blocks

 

well you can hop on the group buy for the rotors and pads thats one problem solved.

 

Try fixing the problems that exist, even if you have to get oem parts. The problems you are mentioning sound like there was a lack of regular maintence that lead to all the issues your having now. Not saying that you were the cause, but all those problems usually don't happen all at once. You can get rotors, shocks and tires at www.tirerack.com , or just check out your local Auto parts store and have them order you some kyb shocks, get oem or slotted rotors if you want them (tire rack has both) and tires from any tire store.

 

thats tight. ill pay $$$ for one of those

 

I got 105k miles on my stock shocks/struts and they are still smooth.

 

wurd

 

so my next question is, if i want a nice reliable and smooth lowered ride, what combination of shocks/springs should i get?

 

first choice: tein super street dampeners.

second choice: koni yellows with neuspeed sport springs.

 

what he said

 

i was thinking about getting the eibach pro-kit with some kyb agx shocks. do you guys think the shocks are necessary, or should i save the money and put it towards tires?
