Hey bro. Alright, let me help you out. I know English isn't the first language for ALOT of people on this forum. But, it would be easier to read and understand if you just took maybe 1 more minute to type up your post. I'm not raggin' on your English, like I said, I'm trying to help you out...so on with your question: KYB makes a cheap shock for the 3G TL. Hope this helps!

If you don't want Koni's and you want to go cheap, why change the shocks at all? Do they *need* to be changed?

I think the KYB is just an OEM replacement.

Eibach makes shocks for the pro kit springs. Look into those.

You'd probably be alright getting Eibach Pro-Kit without replacement shocks.

Why not just go with coilovers..change up the height whenever you want

There was just a deal going on for the Comptech ( Made by Eibach ) .. why not see if its still avaialble .. was a super price.

If your car is lower milage stock shocks on a 1" drop should be fine.

If you have less than say 40k miles on your OE shocks and you are only going for a 1" drop then just do the springs. If you have more that that I would recommend changing the shocks at the same time.

The ones in that ad do NOT include shipping for that price. He is seeking $120 and LOCAL PICKUP. Any shipping would be additional (as I understand it). Excelerate on the other hand is still offering ( I think) the excat same springs for $135 shipped (best deal so far)

Ohh sorry about that, read it wrong. I thought it was 120 shipped since Excellerate is selling for 135, which is an amazing deal as well.

i went with the aspec suspension. it works fine if you don't put big wheels on. it is just about as low as the comptech drop if you have 18's on i think my car sits high because i have 20's on.
