Default JDM Potenza Street shocks from EG6?? any good?

Hey guys, I have found a good deal for JDM Potenza Street shocks with kg/mm dual rate springs, LDM LCA's with sway bar links for only $400.00 CDN

Is this suspension setup any good?? I have tokico blues with coilovers at this moment and I was thinking of buying this setup

here's a picture of it.


anybody ever use this kind of suspension setup on an EG??

They're fairly stiff. If you like it go for it.

I'm trying to figure out suspension setups these days. Would stiff suspension be better for handling?

Would anybody say this setup is better then my current Tokico blues with Toms coilovers?

I'll be the first to say yes. The blues are soft shocks. Those that your looking at are going to be stiffer and probally harder on you as a driver, but it should be more responsive if you get it dailed in correctly. Dailed in correctly will depend on what you are doing with the car.

I actually same setup on my EG while back, and would definatly recommend these for all around great setup. I would compare these to ITR setup without the 4x4 look. they handled very well and comparing to ITR slightly firmer.
Nice and firm feel on the street (pot holes and imperfections) and when pushed to the limit got firmer which was great for auto x. for the price its a great deal

knowing the seller I defintaly would recommend give this thumbs up

i rock KG/MM DR Racing springs (F=8.4kg/R=6.4kg) with Koni Yellow SP3 Shocks. the ride is awsome, rides like it's on rails. the drop is nice aswell. 1 finger gap all around.

crappy pic. i'll try to snag some better pics if you wanna see what the drop is like.
i say go for it!
