I already picked up my Pro Kit springs this week and after reading up on the board, I decided I should do the smart thing and get shocks as well.

I see that the KYB AGX get a lot of praise, but have read similar things about the Tokico HPs.

My goal: the reason I lowered the car is not so much for handling (though it is a great benefit), but rather to get rid of the crazy wheel gap. I want to maintain as smooth of a ride as possible, such as stock smoothness for example.

What are the best shocks to mate to Pro Kit springs in order to maintain the smoothest ride possible?

Thanks for all your helpful advice guys!

 

A few more notes:

• I don't care about adjustibility
• Koni Yellows would be too pricey so price is somewhat of an issue
• Already have the Pro Kit springs so getting other springs or a full coilover setup is out of the question

 

I can feel the excitement in this thread !!! :gheywave:

 

Your not getting replies because your asking a difficult question. You bought the one of the stiffest springs available for the car and want a smooth ride. Its not gonna happen.

 

In that case, it was a dumb move on my part.

Are the H&R Sports less stiff?

 

I can feel your excitement. I received my Neuspeed springs thurday, and my tokico HPs should be here tuesday. i'm installing next saturday and i can barely contain myself.

unfortunately, I can't offer any advice, just wanted to share in the excitment!!!

 

I've had the prokit on now for bout 35K on stock shocks (ride quality still seems excellent on the stockers) I have 58K on my odo now, I'm surprised they lasted this long. I may have the shop I go through just order the OEM once these go. THe Tokico HP or Konis would go well w/ aftermarket springs. Tires can affect your ride as well, if you want to feel less road and smoothness, stay with the 17" rims and 50 series our cars come with>
