i Have 19" rims with a 35+ offset love them but i think my struts are gone because this happens with all the rims i tryed on. It can be the smallest crack in the street and my back tires bounce up and down like a basketball hitting my fender. So im looking to purchase a new pair of struts. i want them to be very stiff. also i might lower so i may have to buy two sets but if you know one set that is stiff and can handle the lowering let me know please!!!! thanks

you dont want the stiffest shock possible.

Buy all 4 at the same time. I personally am partial to Koni. The Koni Yellow SP3 is a awesome shock, the other really great shock is the Bilstein.

"our vendor" as in "acurazines vendor".. hes a member on here.. find one of his threads in the vendor/group buy black market and go to his site.. or he might actually have a thread offering konis so you might be able to just get the price that way..

Thanks for alll the help fellaz!!!! but still didnt answer my question. (every time i go over a bump or uneven pavement my tire bounce up and down alot) also ( if i come to a dip in the road my car slams down on to my tire also also causing it to rub) now is that my shock or struts????? i just dont want to buy a part and it doesnt fix the problem


Ps i have a 35+ offset, my tire are just a tab bit outside the fender

The two main components of the suspension are the spring and the strut. The term shock and strut are interchangeable, it's the same part. A strut would be the Koni SP3 that was previously suggested. If this part is blown or no longer working properly your car will bounce over bumps instead of absorbing the bump.

Yes,By your description your shocks are shot. The other problem is probably the rim offset. If your shocks are original replace them. They have a typical life of 50-70k miles.

not totally , one has a spring on it (strut), and the other does not (shock)


but maybe you should also try the term "dampener", which is what they are known by in the rest of the world
