New and need advice!

Hey guys!

Just signed up to the forum today because I need some advice on some parts that I need to get. I need a new set of shocks, but can't find a decent set for a decent price. Was wondering if anyone could point me in a good direction?

Also, I need a camber kit as I've lowered my TL, and don't like riding with that negative camber.

Any help/ideas/advice with parts for either of these is much appreciated!

Why do you need new shocks? What shocks are on the car now? Are you looking for OEM (with coilovers) or aftermarket? A little more info will probably help get you some better advice.

Not sure about the shocks but I've been running the Eibach rear camber kit without any issues.

The general consensus seems to be that the OEM shocks or KYB GR2 shock is a good aftermarket oem replacement. For better, adjustable shocks, go with the koni sport. You're going to pay more for them but they're worth every penny... AND they're rebuild-able!

there's a great deal on them at shox.com
$658 for all four Koni Sport and free shipping to your door. I've dealt w/ them and they have excellent customer service.

What I would ask is why are you needing a new shock/struts?

If you lowered the car and feels different, then it could be your lowering springs. Make sure there is physical issue with your struts before you replacing them..
