Hey, im gonna need some new shocks...whats a good kind to get? Im lookin for somethin thats not too much $$...not like $200 each...

what about KYB AGX?? Are theose good??? Theose are $85 each...thats about my price range...

anyothers like tokios good?? What should i get???

 

Kyb agx's are good, alotta ppl have them. Most also say stay away from tokio. What kinda springs are you getting?

 

You won't go wrong with KYB AGX shocks. But if your drop is near 2" you might run into some problems. KYB's are usually for pro-kit or H&R springs.If your car is about a 2" drop (coilovers, sportlines, nuespeed race) or more look into koni's. Koni's are a little more but a excellent product.

 

sooo if i got H&R Sport springs 1.75 Front drop 1.5 rear drop...would the KYB AGX work???? I'd like theose cuz their more in my price range

 

i highly reccommend you spring a little more and get the koni yellows. THEY ARE AWESOME!!! i paid $510 for mine. so it was about $102.50 each. And if you got prokits and want more drop u can set the srping perch lower and drop your car another .5" about. I put them back on the norm perch cuz my wheels were tucked into the wheel well. i hope to have daytime pics later today.

 

i'll prob end up gettin the KYB AGX cuz i cant spend much $ and these would work...so yea...

 

why not just get teins?

 

what the hell are teins?? what company makes them??

ok the H&R springs fell through so i'll prob end up gettin Ground Control Coilovers...so like a 2" drop all around...maybe 2.5" drop...so what do u all suggest? could koni yellows hold a 2.5" drop?? what about these teins????

also...wheres the best place to buy shocks from?? somewhere with good cheap prices??? (i cant afford to spend all the $ like on koni yellows...ive found out that www.Tirerack.com
is cheap...but what about buying like koni yellow or somekind off ebay or somethin used...buy used or not??

 

Tein SS coilovers.

its a complete spring over strut combo. with the price of the GC's and the KYB's you're in the same neighborhood.

 

umm no...teins are waaayy too much...the front camber kit and all 4 GC coilovers are $250 (ive got friends :-) but then i gotta buy shocks...

bottom line, 2" - 2.5" drop = ????shocks?? Could i still use KYb AGX's??? or do i HAVE to get koni yellows with that drop??
Can i buy used shocks and not have to worry much???

 

Well 250+ 400-500 for shocks you might as well spend the extra 100 on the teins. You will like them 100% better then the GC's.

 

teins are 850$


trust me man, this is the way to go, take it from someone whose messed w/ basically every spring combo there is for our car. I've had both eibachs, ST's, Progress, GC's, VIS, and the spring springs.

 

wow...but could i buy shocks used and still be ok??? im tryin to save $ here...cuz i dont have much...

 

yes you can buy shocks used. But it's probally not the best thing to buy used. Also, do you know what kind of camber kit you are getting? It may be a shitty kit. My suggestion is dont' try to go cheap because you will redo it in the long run. As you can see I have experience w/ trying to go cheap and suspension.

 

Don't buy used struts/shocks...they could be blown.

 

ok..are shocks and struts the same damn thing or 2 different things??

cuz if their different than thats somethin elce im gonna have to spend my damn $ on...ahh!!

so far i have to pay for coilovers, camberkit, shocks, (struts??) , re-do the rims, tires, allinment, and freakin installation!!! ahhhhhhhhhhhh

so what exactly do i need if i drop my car 2" with GC coilovers??????/

 

They are the same....

 

if all u want is to drop ur car 2-2.5" get prokits and koni yellows. and it will cost u less then $1000 in the end

 

i think i'll get the GC and front camber...install everytrhing to a 1.75 drop all around (the springs are already settled) so i'd have a 1.75 drop and keep the stock shocks for a while...how long would they last??

 

theres no point in yellows for a sport drop. sport is for the weak :o :p j/p :-*

 

just go for teins man... truuuuuuuust me

 

If i had to do it all over again i woulda just went with the teins...by the time you pay for the GC's and The yellows you minus well get a fully engineered suspension that the spring and strut are made for eachother...I regret buyin the sleve coils..save ur money get the teins

 

other than the groupbuy site where else can I get the teins for 850 or cheaper? does anyone have a hook up on teins? thanks.

 

Why is everyone telling this guy to get teins or yellows, or even any adjustable shock for that matter, when he is probably never even going to use the adjustability feature on the yellows which is what people pay for..plus the ability to handle higher spring rates which will not be used either. Teins is even worst overkill for a daily driver. If you still insist on getting adjustable shocks AGX will be more than adequate for your needs...and they are the best bang for the buck.

 

Thanks...thats probably what i'll get, although some say that with the eibach sportline, (which i will prob get now) the springs wont work cuz the drop is too low...is this true??

 

the kyb agx will work fine with eibach sportline. call up mike @ coximport.com for a great price. tell him threatcon13 from honda-tech sent you.

 

Thanks soo much for your help!

 

Here's the reason for buying adjustables. If you're not happy with your non adjustable initial set-up then you're assed out. With adjustables you can tune it to your liking and then leave it. If you decide the ride is too rough, or too soft a month or two later, you have a choice of changing it without purchasing new shocks.

 

im thinkin KYB AGX with eibach sportlines...

 

I agree. I'm going with prokits and agx's too. Anybody know what a set of 4 agx's would generally run?

 

There's a set on ebay now for $304.99 (buy it now price)

 

Also, several of us got some from Nugs3's hookup for $290-300 shipped from IL: car_man10@hotmail.com

 

why do people put down tokicos?

i got tokico/sportline doesnt seem to be a problem?

rides not perfect but nothing to bitch bout...

 

hey im thinkin about gettin the prokit but wat shocks will make my ride smooth..i dont want no rough ride

 

I'm getting mine for $820 shipped. PM or e-mail me for details.
