Recommended Suspension

Looking to which up my suspension im on skunk2 coil overs, the ride is awful and the alignment goes out at least every 2 months and only getting 10k out of tires. So what does everyone recommend, i really dont want to go back stock!

something that isn't skunk2 or >$100 and has to do with using something over OEM shocks

try getting some bilstein, koni shocks to pair up to the skunk 2

or... go with some fully threaded coilovers.

Go with Eibach + Blistein or Konis if u want to retain that smooth, comfty ride and still get that sporty look.

With your set-up , ditch the OEM shocks and go for Konis. You're bound the feel the improvement. As for the alignment, are you sure your tie-rods aren't cheap/getting old? My friend has a 02 TL-S that came with brand new (cringe) Autozone brand tie-rods and fresh alignment. After half a year, the inside of the tires are bald and tie-rods are all loosy goosy.

Koni shocks and H&R springs if you want to go spring shock combo its the best. Other wise pick up a full (QUALITY) coilover.

If you're interested in a good coilover contact us and we can discuss the benefits of a TEIN coilover or our XLR8 ISC coilovers.
