Best non-adj shocks

Got CT springs, and want to do shocks at the same time, but don't think i need to spend the extra $$$ for koni yellows.... so what is the best non-adj. shock on the market, I think koni reds are an options, and anything else.


Thanks

Peter

I have the Tokico Blues(HP's) also with comptech springs, been running them for about 8K miles now. I've been very happy with this setup.

also have CT springs and tokico blue HP's .. I'm very happy with them after 6K miles. got them at shox.com for 299 for the set. Noticeably stiffer than stock, but in a good way. Really flattens out the ride and handling .. took away the floaty feel on the highway.

I just put Tokico HP blues on my CLS-6 last Saturday, followed the DIY posted in the FAQ section. The install was a piece of cake, nothing like saving a couple hundred dollars.
I have CT springs and it did not change the look / height at all. Got the HP's off ebay for $269.00 shipped. They are huge improvement over the stock shocks

No. But Koni yellow's do have a lower "perch" that can lower the car another .5" .
