back to the suspension blues
ok, i was able to calm the "other" down long enough that I could buy my airbag for my s2000 wheel to finally get that done and over with since I actually found one in the price range I wanted.
well, she's started back up again and this time she's apparently determined to get her way (my ears are bleeding now )
anyway, back in the market and it looks like one way or another this will be my next mod.
to be honest I'm kind of tired of the 2" drop as my tires rub a little in hard corners.
I've noticed some good pricing on tokico shock/spring combos online at about $350 shipped. 1.75" drop around and the shocks are supposedly "matched". anyone tried one of these combos? seems like it'll fix 2 problems at once for me if it works the way I'm hoping? or should I get eibach 1.5" springs and some other kind of shocks?
yes, I'm trying to raise my car up some.

Re: back to the suspension blues (stackz)
I had the tokico blues and eibach springs 1' drop and they were terrible. They were really boucy and you felt everything. I am on my 3rd car now and it is on KYB AGX and for the money they are worth it. You can ajust them. I have my current car riding on Progress springs and it rides like a dream. That is my recommend setup may cost about 450 thought (shipped).

They are not matched.
Our Pro-Kit and a set of Koni/Tokico/KYB would be fine. Just depends on your budget.

Re: back to the suspension blues (sinatra)
not interested in coilovers or used parts for the matter, thanks though.

why would they all be sold under a single part number then??

I've heard a lot of people blowing these shocks out with a 2" drop and on the softest setting which is why I'm kind of skeptical about getting them though I'm definitely interested in them.
hmmm, so eibach pro's and a set of agx's wouldn't be bad??
